I guess we are waiting until the 49ers do something definitive with Aiyuk, but I would still be looking at guys like Jennings.
I'm torn on Aiyuk, but if he is 100% back to his best by seasons start (if not camp), he, Scary and Jennings, plus the rest of the room would give us real capability in the passing game, even without a dominant TE. And if Okonkwo and Sinnott come good...

I am not sure on Jennings, I mean he's the same guy Deebo was last year in terms of age, lack of explosiveness, etc. But Deebo has amazing Run after catch numbers. So they are comparable and I think we paid Deebo 17M last year, plus a 5th rounder and it was considered a great deal. Deebo carried the WR room last year with limited deep route ability. Jennings just did the same at San fran but had lower numbers, yet more TDs. I see Jennings as a WR2 at best and Deebo as a WR3+ only because Deebo can't get separation on deep routes, although he did complete some deep passes anyways. I kinda see them both the same, with Jennings more traditional route tree guy. From a bad ass standpoint though, Deebo is actually better. So it the idea is to pay one of these guys 35M for 2years 2years which one do you take? My belief is there is a bias of greener grass and yeah Deebo is very limited in what he does, but as for value? Any big 3rd rounder can do what Jennings does, in fact, he may be replacable with a late cut, but Deebo is unique. I am not sure, but my best guess is if they can get Jennings for 17M/yr for 2 years, they will take him, but I'm sure he's looking for 3 years/50 or so is my guess. If Jennings bails, I bet they immediately sign Deebo for 15M 1 yr. There isn't anyone else out there that is much better. Thoughts?
