    You can see in his face, AR kinda wanted a weapon. 😂

    We'll be able to get him one still. I'm happy where we sit.

    Any WR we draft now would be a backup to Pierce and play special teams.  If we are going to use the pick we should be moving up and get the best talent available regardless of position.  Picks 6 and 7 won’t make the team.  Move up and get someone who has a chance to.

    In fantasy world we could get DeJean with second round pick and trade third and whatever it takes to get Aiyuk. Think that would qualify as a home run draft.

    That would be awesome.  If Ballard tried hard to trade up for a WR I would think he would be aggressive in going after Aiyuk.

    I offered it as an option months ago, but I don't think he's the right fit with Pittman. Among the likely available veteran trade options, he's the only one I'd consider.

     

    But I think maybe the Niners keep him, and trade Deebo.

    Mike Lombardi on the McAfee show today he thinks they would prefer to trade Deebo.  He would the most expensive to acquire but he is really a rb playing wr.  Reportedly they want a  second and third for Deebo.  Aiyuk plays the outside very effectively.  Deebo is an inside receiver according to him.  He thinks they will prefer to keep Aiyuk.

    No, he won't.

     

    And I'm not a guy who makes definitive statements like this very often. But I think it's plain as day that Aiyuk will be getting a new contract before the season starts, whether it's with the Niners or another team. 

    I am on board with it being the Colts.

    Id rather have Deebo. The things Shane could draw up for a AR, Deebo, JT backfield would be downright illegal 

    For sure but his cap hit is 28m.  That’s a big problem for most teams at this stage.  That’s why the 4th rd offers I would think.  Would probably need another extension.  For me Aiyuk is the perfect player for us given all the circumstances.

    I saw today the best offer they have had for Deebo was a 4th.

     

     

    Have you seen what the WR got paid last two days? Colts can’t afford that 

    Yes they can.  Aiyuk will play under the fifth year option this year with the 49er’s.  That’s 14.2m.  They can’t afford and don’t want to give him an extension this year.  Next year they have Purdys extension.  We don’t have to give him an extension either this year.  So fitting under the cap is not a problem.  Sure he wants an extension but that’s what 5th year options are for.  So hopefully Ballard tries for him.

  7. Now that the Jags drafted Thomas I think we are the prime team to trade for Aiyuk tomorrow.  The receivers left won’t make a big impact for the Colts as a rookie this year.  Trading for Aiyuk would supplant Pierce as our starter.

    So will SF now get Deebo or Aiyuk traded.

    I think we are trading for Aiyuk tomorrow.

    FWIW:   Earlier today in the never ending pre-draft coverage it was reported Lynch didn’t want to trade him, but if he had to he was expecting at least a first-plus for Aiyuk.  So multiple picks starting with a first.    

    The 1st rd is almost over.  Maybe Buffalo.  I don’t see a team trading next years first.  I think a day two pick.  We can give them Kwity or Dayo now to include a player.

    Personally….


    I hope the Buckner extension which gives us more cap space leads to the Colts signing Simmons or Diggs maybe as soon as next week….

    I think that has a great chance of happening.  I’m hoping he goes after Aiyuk for AR.  Draft pick wise he wouldn’t be expensive.  The connection is there with Lynch so I think it could happen.  Daniel Jeremiah thought we were one of two teams that made sense to him.  We will see.

    What's your thoughts?

     

     

    Nflfan and I were just talking about what to do.

     

    Start a new one in the Draft or NFL Gen section? Post one here, keeping the 15th thread open for Colts only talk?

     

    Or using the current thread in the Draft section, linked below.

     

    Game for whatever.

    Everyone is used to this one.  Why mess around?
