Oh totally. We all know the Big 12 is full of defensive juggernauts.

If receivers are somehow able to survive the baptism by fire from the many Steel Curtain like defenses in the Big 12, they are definitely set to dominate in the NFL.

Not happy that they traded up for him still, But I'm really excited to see him play in this offense. He looks so damn fast. I think he's gonna be legit.

His last name isn't Williams so he'll be fine.

does he have good hands? Sanders rarely dropped balls.

Nor is it Jenkins.

Drops less than Jeudy who I loved. Jeudy has a serious drop problem that people like to forget.

Everything that's come out says he catches well and with his hands. No Veron Davis catching here.

Is it the assumption that he'll be PR/KR too?

He's already the best on the roster at it. But...there's not chance they let him do it if he's WR1 or WR2.

It'd be nice to finally have someone where my expectations are more than: please field the kick... whew... ok.

Just sucks that for his entire career he is not only going to be compared to Ceedee Lamb and Jerry Jeudy....but he is also going to be compared to Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman, Denzel Mims, etc. Lots of pressure to be good.

Dallas and Denver are both pass first teams so Jeudy and Lamb will get stats probably 900+ receiving yards

Aiyuk will be the third option on a run first team so he could very well end up with 700 receiving yards.

Dak prescott and Jameis Winston had huge number last year but to me those were empty stats, I'd rather my team be in the super bowl and mauling other teams than care what the comparisons are. Rings>stats

Yeah, even that is probably reaching high. I've got 5 targets a game average. 3 catches. Probably between 500-600 yards would be nice. Kittle and Deebo should still be the feature guys and with our pass protection, Jimmy isn't getting to 3 often. Kyle will scheme him up more as the year progresses.

I feel like Shanahan is going to up the passing attempts for Jimmy this coming season. Teams are going to make it a point to contain the run, but especially when they Mostert lined up next to Jimmy in the backfield. After his breakout performances in the postseason they're going to want to not got beat solely by him. It's just my opinion though, I think teams will take the Chiefs defensive blueprint and try to recreate it.

Aiyuk will be a good target for Jimmy once he settles into the offense and the speed of the game. I think he's the guy we needed to win on outside routes to open up the middle for Deebo and Kittle.

It makes little sense for GB to have their eye on Aiyuk then once Aiyuk was taken, GB decided "forget getting help for Rodgers (Aiyuk), let's just take Rodgers' replacement"

This. All of it is pure speculation anyway, nobody knows, including the 49ers. They said the same with Pettis and I highly highly doubt anyone was taking him in the 2nd. Just call a spade a spade, they wanted their guy and made sure to get him, no need to justify the move to anyone when you're the decision makers
