NFL Network's Steve Smith was recently even more bullish on the first-team All-Pac-12 selection, saying teams should be paying more attention to the 6-foot-1 target than they are in a loaded class at the position.



I hate Steve Smith but if he likes this guy, then so do I. Perfect situation is a trade down but we still keep our first and pick up an extra third or maybe even a second from some idiot team and draft Aiyuk around 27-29

I hope we take Queen but I would not be surprised if we took a WR


I don’t think Love makes it to us. Definitely a Raider or Patriot

I'm not seeing Odell at all

He looks bigger than I thought but doesn't seem too fast

In those highlights, I just worry about the competition it was alot of Arizona and Oregon state

Did the intel tell him Aiyuk or did it tell him not Queen? Or not LB but WR?

Looks like Brandon Aiyuk had core surgery.

4.5 with a core muscle injury is pretty damn good. Also, he doesn’t have to run a 4.3 or even a 4.4 to be a hell of a player. He doesn’t have Odell’s speed but he’s got the RAC and has really great vision for it with above average route running. Based on his highlights he’d be a hell of a player for us and give our offense the deadliest set of weapons in the league.

MT13, Sanders, Cook, Aiyuk, Kamara, Hill and Harris? The only other team that even comes close to that is the Bucs and they dont have a Kamara. That group is arguably better than what we had in 2011.

Aiyuk looked good on those punt returns though
Sometimes he looked great and sometimes he just looked alright

If Payton likes him, I’m good with it. I’m not as confident with Payton on defensive picks but offense? I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. He’s earned that with all the great players he’s drafted. The only duds being TreQuan and Nick Toon?

anything coming out of CSP pre-draft is a smokescreen.

Usually yes but he never directly quoted Payton. Aiyuk does seem like the kind of player he would want. He also could have leaked it to try and get someone to take him so one of Murray or Queen falls

We honestly have no clue what they will do. I mean shite we didn’t have a clue they were going up for Davenport but we did know last year we were probably taking the best Center we could feasibly get. This draft feels like last year and not the Davenport year where it’s pretty obvious where our biggest hole is and I can see them being aggressive to try and fill it with the second best guy behind Simmons ie Murray or Queen. They haven’t said much about LB. mostly the depth at WR and interior OL.

Sean Payton will not draft an LSU player in the first round. He has stated that his biggest pet peeve is Saints fans asking him to draft LSU players. He skips LSU players just to spite us even when they are tremendous values at positions of need (Mathieu, Collins, etc).

Dude is a grade A douche and every time he tries to publicly troll and look cool (choke gesture during TNF in Atlanta, “SKOL” taunt to Vikings fans in playoff game, “worry about your meat” to Whole Foods butcher before this years playoffs, he mushes us and proceeds to blow that game or the upcoming game with his dumbassery.
