Brandon Aiyuk is a 49er! Pick #25, 2020 NFL Draft

And if you ask me, can we afford the following, I'd say yes come 2026.

Purdy at $50M a yr
CMC at $16M a yr, really $12M with us
Juice at $5.5M a yr
Deebo & BA at $23M-$24M a yr
Kittle at $15M a yr
Bosa at $33M+ a yr
Armstead at $17M a yr
Hargrave at $21M a yr
Warner at $19M a yr
Dre at $14M a yr
Ward at $14M a yr
Hufanga at $19M a yr

I know this sounds ridiculous, but the cap is only gonna go up big time, we have no one signed past 2026(14 for 2026 I believe)

Also Trent will likely be retired by 2026 so that frees up a lot of money. You'll have a younger Center, so Brendel won't likely see the entire 4yr deal IMO.

Ya he's pretty stupid IMO

He keeps harping on why we do 7 step drops, like kyle doesn't have a specific reason he does it? Sorry JTO that you aren't privy as to why.

I think that is a very fair take.....

BA is not really fed the ball, and somewhat borderline comparable to some of them dudes that have been.

BA is a smaller body guy making big body like plays week in and week out. The dude would have been INSANE back in the k-gun/run and shoot days. I could easily see him doing Andre Rison like stuff in an offense that floods zones. I think the dude is awesome.

It's that nepotism, baby.

As to Aiyuk, the only real area he could improve upon is his contested catches (timing, body-out, high pointing and positioning). That said, with Kyle and his own ability, he rarely gets in that position. I can't wait to see him this year. 1K.

This is honestly..amazing. I figured guys like Lenoir, Mitchell, etc would be gone. But I would've thought one or two core guys are gone as well.

Think of Trent Williams, he likely retires by 2026, that saves a whopping $33M in 2026, if we win a SB or 2 between now and 2026, Trent retires IMO, I don't want to see him retire until we get a T for him to groom, or at least hire Trent as an assistant coach to help the OL.

Good list of core players to consider but by 2026 I'm not sure if
AA, Dre, Ward, Huf will all be here.
Unless they have a guaranteed contract their age/durability may not plan out that long.

idk exact ages, but all but AA are in the 20s, mid 20s I think, unless it's down play, or injury issues, I think they're here by 2026, but that's my opinion.

I don't have an issue with HIS 7 step drop issue. I do get it, we are not a deep shot team with excellent pass blocking. So why handicap the OL?

But his constant gripes on the naked boots annoy me. The reason for them are obvious.

By then, that would be a bargain for a top QB.

We should cut to Armstead because he is not top defense ranks. He didn't get counts for sacks by 2 or 3 years? He is nothing to do and not great plays a game at championship.. We should save the cap salary space and give to bosa for moneys. Bosa is very worth for defense sack to leader!

The mind says to sit Aiyuk in FF.
The heart says he's about to go off on Sunday.
