Brandon Aiyuk is a Quitter! Pick #25, 2020 NFL Draft

it's a good thing they moved down a pick and was able to get Aiyuk, with that extra trade capital.

I'm hoping if no QB at the #12 pick, they pick trey down and get another late round first pick in the draft for either the OLine or Defensive End position or *both.*

That makes Pitts and even more likely target if he's there.

People have seriously underrated Shanahan's priority for versatile playmakers.

Yuck. CEH looks promising but this means Kyle was willing to roll into 2020 with Deebo, Pettis, Bourne as the top 3.

Mostert was looking good why draft a RB round 1? Oh well I'd rather have Aiyuk than CEH given how this staff finds good RBs out of nowhere.

Just like his dad in Denver. RBs are plug and play. With that said, Mostert is special in this offense.

If only he valued that in the position that takes the snaps.

Yup and we didn't even see all he can do. I saw plenty of missed opportunities with him, he threw his hands up on some of them

Imagine if he had Cousins playing from behind almost every game vs that prevent D.
facing the number 2 cb bc Thielen would be taking coverage away from him.
no safety coverage bc of a rb like Cook facing 8 man boxes
imagine if he didn't miss 4 games

I think BA could of possibly had a better year than Jefferson at least YAC YPC and possibly tds. Hell possibly even yards. People don't consider this

Idk... Jefferson isnt the first rookie receiver to be in that situation.. he had an absolutely stellar year, I wouldn't downplay that by looking too hard into the microscope... but I see your point.

I agree Jefferson had a stellar year, I just feel BA would of made just as many plays if not more for the reasons listed above. Both wrs are going to have great careers imo. It's too bad we don't have an Adam Thielen to take away coverage from the oppositions best cb or at the very least equal attention

This kid is good, damn good. I even want to say he's something special. Aiyuk makes it look easy out there. The great ones typically do. But I want to see him build on his success next season before I crown him.

Another biased post regarding the Vikings from you guap. Cant say I am shocked. Most of your post is factually inaccurate again.

Nick Mullens had more garbage time pass attempts in 10 games (8 starts), than Cousins had in 16. You just hate Cousins. I have to imagine adding Beathard and Jimmy to this equation makes this notion that Aiyuk would have had more production if he had Cousins level of garbage time even sillier.

Dalvin Cook faced less 8 man boxes in 2020 than Jeff Wilson. Dalvin Cook faced less 8 man boxes in 2019 than Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman or Matt Breida. I agree with your point about Aiyuk, but you are throwing out nonsense to argue it.

I believe that Aiyuk is better than Jefferson. The difference in their production for me is the quarterback, while you seem to think its the situation.

Another misguided and shortsighted post about you. I can't say I'm surprised at all because it seems like you cherry pick way too much. You're arguing that Cook faced less eight man boxes than Wilson? You're using Wilson as an example to support your case? You got to be kidding me. I'm positive that Cook was paid way more attention to than Wilson. I'm sure we faced a lot of nine man boxes as well. But you of course neglected that Viking still have Adam Thielen and a way better offense then what we had last year. At no point have I ever said I hated Kirk cousins. That's a lie. Wow. You're assuming and you know what they say about people that assume.

You have to understand the points I was making which are not inaccurate it's just general stuff like the Vikings were behind a lot last year, the Vikings were forced to pass a lot which inflated stats quite a bit, a lot of teams gave Cook a bunch of attention, they have a Pro Bowl receiver that takes attention away from Jefferson and so on and so on. Come on man.
