let’s see...

One was a playmaker in the best college program in the country and has experience in a defense very similar to ours.

the other is a d2 athlete, that has never stepped on the field and competed against the best of the best players from schools like LSU, Georgia, Clemson or auburn.

one is making plays all over the field for the giants.

the other is broken down after 3 padded practices and left riding the bike!

LOL... Broken down? SMH. It's not like he tore his quad muscle. JFC. And it's been 5 practices.. But facts really aren't your strong suit, are they?

Matt Elam was a playmaker in college that played against the best of the best from schools like LSU, Georgia, Clemson and Auburn. And where did that get him?

Jerry Rice played for the power house Mississippi Valley State. How'd that work out for him?

Rodney Harrison played for the perennial FCS contender Western Illinois.

Dugger may not have played against D1 competition, but committee for the Senior Bowl clearly felt he wouldn't be out of place when they invited him. And what happened at the Senior Bowl? Hmm? Did Dugger look out of place? Did Dugger get burned like a cheap suit in Death Valley? No. He didn't. He didn't look out of place at all. In fact, he impressed many scouts and coaches. That says a lot more about him than your "Online Draft Profile" evaluation..
 
I missed him the two times I looked at the NFL.com Bucs roster.
Gotcha. They actually have a very good front 7. Vita Vea and Suh are an excellent pairing at DT. Barrett and JPP are both great pass rushers. Then they Lavonte David and Devin White at LB.

The only weakness is their young secondary. But if they take steps forward, they could have a top 10 defense easily.

Their D is underrated. They'll be better with less turnovers the offense was giving them.

*Fewer* turnovers.

(There is no charge for this grammar lesson.)
 
Captain Stone was a big proponent of Aiyuk ... wouldn’t have been a bad pick at all ...
 
Tough to make the club if you're not on the field.

Was just about to post that if he hadn't already been taken earlier than expected (a recurring theme regarding WRs during the draft's first 2 days), then I would not have objected at all if Aiyuk had been the choice at 37, for two reasons: 1) He's crazy explosive and is a big YAC waiting to happen every snap, somewhere between Deion Branch & Odell Beckham though maybe not quite as fast down-field; and 2) He would provide both companionship & friendly competition for his college teammate Kneal Harry, who just doesn't look like he enjoys playing here...

Aiyuk looks like he's going to be a good player, 9ers are already excited about him and beat writers really like what they see.

dude, I know you have never played this game at any level, so you have no idea what it feels like hit or get hit. Or the difference between a high school hit and a d1 college hit.
Trust me, he can survive a while on his athletic ability, but the hits he is taking now are way more than anything he has ever felt before. The 3 days I was in a pro camp were the hardest hits I ever took in my life on the field.

as for the senior bowl, again 3 days of practice. He can survive on athletic ability.

do I hope Duggar has a good career with us, yes! Do I hope he has that special heart and desire and drive to overcome his less than stellar college competition, yes. But I would feel much better and much rather have McKinney.
