Brandon Aiyuk is a 49er! Pick #25, 2020 NFL Draft

He literally catches everything with his hands. He just snags the ball. He's more than capable of fighting for the ball in the air on the rare occasion that would need to happen in this offense and with JG

Aiyuk is a Sanders/Samuel blend

You better have a safety over the top! I don't know how he stacked the corner twice on one play that is a new one.#BrandonAiyuk #49ers pic.twitter.com/e6cVZ1sJbG

So physical.

We about to set a lot of YAC records this year.

I can see this. I think, with a QB like Garoppolo and in this scheme, Aiyuk is just going to flourish that much more.

I'm loving these 200 plus pound 6ft WRs we have now. Tanks

whoa let's slow our roll with Beckham vs Aiyuk. Beckham had insane agility test scores. Aiyuk unfortunately didn't test any of those (3 cone, shuttles)

We really don't know what he would've scored, so we've only got what we have. But there's a very good reason he gets so open on slant routes. I don't see the Sanders quite comp as much, honestly.

Now, all this said, the comparison I made to OBJ -- when taken in context with my other posts on Aiyuk -- are me saying that is the absolute BEST CASE SCENARIO for Aiyuk, and I do think their athletic profiles are very similar. Aiyuk reminded me more of Diggs than OBJ from what I saw throughout the film review, but again, the ceiling was what I'm referring to when talking about OBJ. "There's a chance" basically.

At the end of the day, my assessment was that he could be a successful NFL receiver, but seemed like a safer bet to have a Diggs-like career than an OBJ one (which is currently on a historic pace).

So, apparently shanahan only really likes Lamb and Aiyuk. And what I heard I loved. They are almost identical. Obviously ones a little taller. But lamb also had a better qb, and more publicity. Aiyuk went juco, then asu. Chris Simms said Kyle thinks he could be Isaac Bruce.

I read his blocking was non existent (bleacher). True?

was that the in same Bleacher Report article that said he has the catch radius of a T-Rex?

Well they are idiots. His wingspan is elite. Megatron had what 1-2 inches more...

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.

You can just admit that you've never watched a single snap of him playing. Its okay to admit that rather than going on a rant that is 99% nonsense.

Yup, you gotta remember, this is the guy that tried to draw conclusions about our Baltimore game plan before watching the game and just looking at the box score.

I didnt know much about this guy but I really like this video about him. Had me much more hyped for this guy! Thought I would share it.

^^ Yes! Thank you

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

He would have been gone by 31. But yet Mims is still there.
