I mean he´s freaking talented.

You can probably say the same thing about Dante Pettis.

That was a big misfire. Same with Hurd. Expensive mistakes. Good thing they seem to do well in the 5th rounds and lower.

I said the same thing, you can't call someone a bust after 1 season, or even 2, it takes 3 seasons to really evaluate a draft class. I kept saying Aiyuk would come on, to relax, he had a hell of a game, catching everything, he's had a nice game the past 3 weeks, he caught a crazy TD in the AZ game.

We need to find a #3 WR, agree Pettis & Hurd were busts, I even said so here in my latest article after the Win, https://49erscap.com/index.php/2021/11/21/15-things-that-weve-learned-so-far-this-season-both-good-bad/.

He looked much better out there today. I thought he made a couple of nice catches.

Yes but in my mind, Aiyuk was way more impressive in his rookie season. He was legit playing like a true WR1 at times last year. I never had this feeling with Pettis.

He made a lot of nice catches, especially in man coverage, the TD was sweet.

I think we all knew he had it in him - nice to see him have a nice game.
