Now this is a Kyle Shanahan pick.^^
I have this vision in my head of Kyle yelling at JL to go get Aiyuk.^^

Not a fan of how this pick went down. Is what it is now, I'll root for the kid now that he's wearing red & gold.

yea, what's the rush on this guy with mims on the board. Give up 2 picks for WR8? Whatever. Hope he does well. I think with Ruiz getting sucked up, our options were thin.

JimmyG is gonna love the catch radius.

Bleacher report gives him a bad grade for catch radius. Says he "cant frame errant throws".

Looks like JimmyG will need to get coached up on those errant throws.

"The mock drafts and how us pundits rank these players means little when it comes to actual draft boards. In arguably the deepest WR draft this league has ever seen, @49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Brandon Ayiuk was his no. 1 WR on the board. They got him at 25." --@PSchrags pic.twitter.com/aSEYeJYH5i

If true then Kinlaw makes perfect sense. I'm not completely sure I agree with it but that's maybe why I'm getting ready to go my 9-5.

I like him more than Mims. By far more fluid. My only true negative on him (from what I watched) was getting off press at the LOS and contested catches. We will see, He's not gonna be running away from Washington state DBs and LBers. I'm just praying he isn't the next nelson agholor. Even Robert Woods would be a meh career for him getting picked at this spot.

FWIW Daniel Jeremiah had Aiyuk 24 on his top 150 and also Kinlaw at 8.
Draft is a crapshoot unless you´re a Myles Garrett or Andrew Luck type of prospect.
For me, fit matters a lot and Aiyuk is a total Kyle Shanahan WR.
I would have just stayed pat at 31 but who knows if he would have been there?

Finally go our WR. Just wish it didn't cost us that 4th.

I bet we make some trades today for some extra picks. Maybe CJ, Breida, Goodwin, or even Solly

This should not be a surprise to anyone. When Shanny wants someone, Lynch makes it happen. Hope it works out better than Pettis, Williams and to a lesser extent Beathard.

Another disappointment. This dude is barely 6 ft and not nearly as good as Mims.

But he has arms that hang past his knee caps. His wing span is 81".. Julio's Jones has a 82" wing span and he's 6'4". His long arms make up for his height. I still wish they would've drafted CeeDee though

This will be very telling of his talent evaluation in couple of years.

I like Aiyuk, but Jeudy and Lamb below him? I'm not buying that at all lol.

He mentioned Lamb was high for them, but I assume they liked Kinlaw better. Imo Aiyuk was his 1A or 1B. I don't feel they even needed to trade up for him.

Hoping he turns out to be a great pick. If he was Kyle's first pick then I trust him. As far as people saying they should have stayed put I like that they were aggressive and got their player. You never know what teams in front of you are thinking much less teams looking to trade up and also swoop a player.

Because Mims isn't Aiyuk. Nobody in this draft is.

These dudes aren't interchangeable just because the internet draftniks say so.

Aiyuk is simply in another class.

i'd have more optimism for aiyuk justifying the cost of his acquisition if the same things hadn't been said about dante pettis. this scoffing at the concept of value in the draft only works if you hit home runs on the guys you like.
