Trade it for Aiyuk. The 49ers drafted a WR last night. They look to be resigned to not being able to get a deal done with him. Aiyuk is better than any WR left on the board.
Cousin Robo, Hats off to you! Bravo! Good post.
Quick breakfast today. Homemade raisin banana bread toasted with a layer of cream cheese, peppermint tea and cranberry juice.
The problem with these kids; are the bright lights of the NFL too much for them? See Titans WR Treylon Burks as an example (I would give a lower pick for him and give him a shot here) Look at their NFL tape.....uh....they don't have any...huh. If you have a proven product like Aiyuk, you don't be "cute", which apparently is the new slogan during the NFL Draft.
The dilemma that the Niners have is an expensive Deebo (actually his two year contract is fair compared to the WR lollapalooza price hikes this week, of $21mm this year and $18mm next) and we know Aiyuk is going to be hunting at least $27mm. The problem is next year the prices for a QB and WR will be worse. The Niners have Purdy on deck. I was hoping the Niners Draft a WR and they did to clear the decks for this trade.
The problem is that Wolf has proven so far to be one step behind. He is in the perfect position to grab an Aiuk, Deebo or even Higgins if he doesn't get "cute".
The new kid Maye has to look at the WR roster and say "these guys are not elite for sure. I had #9 Tez at Carolina and he was better than any of these guys (maybe I can talk Mayo into getting him in the third?Hmm) What miracles do they want from me?"
The simplest deal would be a swap of picks. Give the Niners #34 for their pick #63 in the second tonite and perhaps a pick in 2025 (why? They have ten picks in this Draft so 2025 might be better for them) and remind them that this Trade is gonna cost RK $100mm that Lynch no longer has to have a nightmare about. We would still have pick #63 to get some OL help.
I beleive this is going to be a WR battle between us and the Bills at #33 and #34. The Bills need a WR desperately. They good news is unless somebody offers the Bills a "bag" to trade out, they do not have the CAP to compete with us for Aiyuk or Deebo. If we don't trade because Wolf screwed the pooch once more, it might come down to AD Mitchell and McConkey and who goes where.
So at #34 Aiyuk, at #63 hopefully Suamamaita. Amagadjie even Cooper Beebe (watch his tape) can play both Tackles and Guard. Patrick Paul would be great but is very raw and could get our QB hurt until he "gets it" but I would take a chance at pick #63 not #34.
I'd even think of double dipping with Rattler at pick #103 tonite but I think Rattler goes to the Raiders at #44.
More trades tonite IMHO.
