4th for Aiyuk,
I would roll the dice.
Wouldn’t stop me from drafting Hunter at 4 if he’s there or Golden in the late first if we trade down.

4th Round Draft Pick?

If we trade down if Hunter isn't there, I'd take Tyler Warren in a trade down. I'd take Jayden Higgins in the 2nd Round, and one or two hopefully stud potential RB's somewhere in or after the 4th Round. And then whatever else we need. I wouldn't be opposed to a high upside young Center.

 

[JohnJH]

He said 4th for Aiyuk and then followed up with that it wouldn't stop him from drafting Hunter at 4, so I think he clearly meant 4th rounder for Aiyuk otherwise we wouldn't be talking about Hunter at #4

That's why I asked him for clarification. I was hoping he meant a 4th Round Draft Pick.

I know the trenches are not exciting but instead of focusing on Tee Higgins why not consider more realistic options.

They just released this guy.



And with them likely to keep both their WRs the odd man out could be worth adding here as well..

Bengals' Trey Hendrickson listed as likely 'odd man out' in new report

Where does Trey Hendrickson fit with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins also needing major contract extensions?

Cappa would be a good get for sure.

I don’t think Hendrickson is likely. He’s got value so that would be a trade and we’re probably not at a point where it makes sense to pay twice for players (salary + trade compensation) that are in their 30s. Should a guy like him make it to free agency, of course! But unless it’s dirt cheap picks wise I don’t think a trade makes sense for older players this year.

On Cappa, what year is that graphic from? PFF has him listed as 110th graded guard out of 135 players last year. The OL is a hole overall but more so at OT than inside. I’d say if it’s a locked in solid option they could use another guard, but I think they have enough young guys with some level of promise that they don’t really need reclamation projects inside.

That graphic is saying that he’s bad in the most confusing way possible. Most sacks, pressures, and hurries allowed.

Savion Williams is not someone I would take until after the 5th Round. I believe (as do others) that Higgins is a very likely starter quality as a rookie and one of those WR's that we passed on in two consecutive drafts (the ones where we passed on Metcalf, Brown, and Samuel in one and Higgins and Pittman Jr. in the next). Savion Williams is considered a slower Cordarelle Patterson. Not a good route runner and more of a gadget type player.

Hey I said he was a realistic option lol

We will see if Kraft pays, if not he needs to sell the team I’m sorry.

Do you think before you post?

The Kraft’s aren’t selling the team. Period. You can love or hate their ownership, but don’t waste your time thinking they will ever sell, because it isn’t going to happen.

Answer is no, and I understand they wouldn’t want want to sell the team but if they aren’t going to spend the adequate resources because he’s still polishing his trophies, then the fans at some point will let Kraft now spend the cream or sell the team.

Our Patriots being 31 on a player satisfaction report card for thinks like families, practice facility, weight room and team Jet is disgraceful.
Now I know there’s only a small portion of billionaires out there but as much as he loves the Patriots and talks about the kind of fan he is and was he should be spending even more resources to make sure the beloved Patriots are top notch.

I think a trade for Aiyuk is smart if they can get him for decent capital (let’s say a 3rd). His cap hits are very low the next 2 years which lets them heavily invest in the rest of the team and maybe even target another receiver if they want.

Most good free agent WRs and even the top WRs in the draft play more Z receiver or slot. Aiyuk is one of the few guys they could get to play X. They could then go get Godwin as the Z, or maybe trade up for a guy like Golden in the draft.

I’m not thrilled about getting someone coming off a torn knee.

I've watched enough 49ers games and I think he's a product of Shanahan's play designs and surrounding players taking heat off him. Now that he's coming off a torn ACL, that ship has sailed. Also, he didn't want to play for NE, so trading for him wouldn't be a good idea.

Sounds like Godwin is not going to be tagged. Would he be looking for a similar contract that Ridley got last year?

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

I do not want Aiyuk coming off a trashed knee season
He did not want to play here last year
Swipe right

He probably won’t get the same money due to coming off an injury, but he’s a better player and also a far better locker room leader. If he actually hits the market I’d definitely be in on him.
