I hope Hurd is ready to go this year. People forget he started over Alvin Kamara at RB in Tennessee, tall and tough praying this back injury hasn’t stunted his mobility.

Like all of ya'll, I was a bit surprised at some of the picks but the more I sit back and marinate, the more it makes sense to me. We all know Shannahan is a mastermind on offensive schemes. He obviously knows what he wants to run and knows what weapons are needed to address those needs.

In Shannahan we trust.

 

[thasoleful1]

We had to move up to get who we wanted.

Absolutely love both selections. Would have been thrilled with CeeDee at 13/14 overall but Lynch loves building Defense.

Brandon Aiyuk hits his ceiling he can defintely be the caliber player Golden Tate is. Javon Kinlaw to me is a 40 Lbs heavier high character version of Darnell Dockett.

 

[Los Angeles]

esp since these dudes WANT to be here,

 

[red81]

bruh

 

[chris82790]

Whoever they got running the 49ers social deserves a raise

 

[49ersaaron8]

Man you watch Brandon Aiyuk enough you start to see Michael Thomas(saints) like ability.

For the context of the 49ers situation: a SB window that's currently open and a roster that doesn't have that many pressing needs other than adding depth (but every team can always use more depth), this draft on paper looks like a home run as far as I'm concerned. Got 2 players that address needs and have great chances to be "plug and play" instant impact players for this coming season.

People arguing "but they traded Buckner just to draft another DT!!!" are missing the point.

Nobody is saying Kinlaw is an instant upgrade over Buckner for this 2020 season (time will tell for long term overall), the point is that they weren't going to be able to keep both Armstead and Buckner w/ the salary cap ramifications.

And because Armstead wasn't going to yield as much return in a trade, there was more value in keeping Armstead than getting rid of him.

I also get annoyed at those saying "THEY GAVE UP 3 PICKS JUST TO MOVE UP 5 SPOTS!!!"

They really only gave up 2 picks (4th and 5th rounders). The 31st pick wasn't "given up" it was a swap for the 26th. And with the 4th rounder being a "free" pick from the Bucs that the 49ers never had in the first place, from my eyes, they really just gave up a 5th rounder to move up to get their guy in Aiyuk.

He gets the ball and boom...he's 10 yards downfield. He might not be the bully that Samuel is but he has the young ES vibes to him.

Like a young Pierre Garçon

That wingspan being an inch bigger than Megatrons is just odd.

 

[deuce king]

Went to bed upset that we didn’t get a WR after our first pick but glad to see that we got a good WR closing out the 1st round as I woke up this morning.

 

[red81]

I love Aiyuk's swagger. Dude is extremely confident that there's nothing on the field he can't do .

 

[jewelknows]

Would be wild if he ends up being the best WR in the class....would love it for our squad

 

[red81]

I'd bet everything this is who Kyle saw in Aiyuk after the catch:

 

[22stylez]

Even the way he holds the ball is very OBJ like (PAUSE)

 

[chris82790]

He said last night that OBJ is who he tries to replicate

 

[thasoleful1]

With college football in doubt next season, 49ers should explore the idea of trading some of next years picks.

 

[red81]

Kinlaw will wear 99.

 

[49ersaaron8]

I think Daniel Jeremiah one of the better evaluators on TV. So, I love when I see he had Brandon Aiyuk as a top 20 player in this class and considered him as just scratching the surface.

Referred to as college footballs Y.A.K. (Yards after king)

 

[lightweight champion]

I noticed Trey Wingo kept asking DJ for his opinion and analysis on nearly every pick instead of reverting to the ESPN guys.

 

[ii flash ii]

All these WRs going

 

[49ersaaron8]

• One more fit that’s considered really, really strong: Arizona State WR Brandon Aiyuk going to the Niners. “He’s a true route-runner, and he’s the best RAC [run after catch] receiver in the draft,” said one AFC college scouting director. “That’s ridiculous that they got him, and they’ll be able to line him up with Deebo [Samuel] and [George] Kittle. He’s strong, he can make people miss and he’s a real threat in the return game. I’d be very surprised if that’s a miss.” It’s also worth mentioning how good Kyle Shanahan is at identifying and coaching receivers, as part of all this.

This is from another teams scouting department after day 1

 

[Los Angeles]

time for lynch to start sweet talking teams on taking some of our guys
