Not sure anyone was in this draft, which is why they all fell after 15 despite their agents paying SI for a cover etc. No Julio Jones's, Dez Bryant, Megatron.
ya, he's a another gadget type WR. i think he's gonna be pretty decent, maybe even good, but it's hard justifying trading up for him when we barely have any picks. him and Kinlaw better turn out to be real good players.
Gadget WR?
He wins on the outside regularly. That's straight from Shanahan.
the biggest knock on him is his size and being poor against press coverage. if he has a good work ethic im sure he can put on some weight and be that type of player.
i would like to see us using him more as a slot this year and slowly develop him into a Z once he puts on some muscle.

He's 5'11". He's Marquise Goodwin with better hands. He is NOT and will never be Emmanuel Sanders. He's a vertical guy who will be targeted maybe 5-7 times a game. Reason being, if they use him regularly to move the sticks and poach between the hashes he will GET KILLED.
You shouldn't trade up on a guy who will be targeted a half dozen times MAX.
Hopefully I am wrong and he will work out and turn in to a regular piece if he adds 5-7 lbs and stays at 4.45.
I read his blocking was non existent (bleacher). True?

This is true. The video below is CGI.

He is 6 feet.
Anyways, size wise he is an OBJ clone, height, hand size, and arm length. He's a little bigger than OBJ.

The most underrated aspect of Aiyuk we are not talking about is that he is an absolute burner.

You don't really know much about him apparently.

This is what I like to hear. I feel that of the top 3 WRs to get playing time, at least one of them has to be feared to win deep. Doesn't have to be 4.3, but does have to have the ability to win vertically. 4.45 with a core injury makes me hopeful.

For anybody who doubts his speed, just tell them to flip on the tape.

What in the world?
Emmanuel Sanders is listed at 5'11" 180. Aiyuk is 5'11" 206. Would you feel better if Aiyuk lost 26 lbs so he could be more like Sanders?
How can you be so sure about Aiyuk's potential when you apparently haven't even investigated the basics about him?

Baloney. Kyle would get ruggs and space and watch him take it to the house. He ran routes that kyle loves to have his WR doing (slants/crossing).
It's dumb to even bring it up now he's not in SF

So the problem is he's 5'11 and because of that he will never be a WR1. Gotcha.
