Re: Post Draft: Who do you want at WR2 / X Receiver?

As of today this is how I see Diggs and Aiyuk

1. Diggs is the far better option. He would primarily be a McLauren injury insurance plan. No one else would provide this legitimately. He isn't particularly a #2 deep guy and is perhaps redundant with our pile of slot types, but the dude is a 1000 yard receiver. There is no doubt he is good, his only issue is off the field and age. I would like him. He would definitely make our WR squad better, for sure. Mid risk/high floor/Mid reward.
Only football argument against is he would slow development of rookie to 2nd year guys which none of them are first rounders My opinion is we are wasting nothing by getting Diggs

2. Aiyuk is pie in the sky, and he's a bit nutty, high risk/low floor/high reward, potential disaster vs star receiver in 27/28 (yet not under contract)
If u want Aiyuk, u must convince yourself he is doing all this bad PR stuff to intentionally hurt the reputation of himself and the 49ers to hurt his value and expedite his release with the sole intent to be seen as a poison pill to every team, that doesn't know this inside information. Just so only one team will make him and offer, Washington.
Then, he plays on a one year deal as a saint, lights it up, then signs a multiyear deal anywhere he wants for 30m a year (including Washington)
That makes him a massive risk if you don't believe this is all a show.
If you know it is only some evil plan, you are cheering for more weirdness so you can scoop him up. So, I am only in favor of signing Aiyuk if this is all true, but if that is the case, I want a deal where I have the option to add a year or two to his contract via some buyout at then end of this year.

For me, Diggs helps the team, Aiyuk is a 2027 guy, and I don't mind if he does 2026 on another team, we will still be his top choice.

And yes, I still believe there is a world we sign both but then we have to cut a guy like Treylon Burks/Dyami which is certainly not the end of the world.

My guess we have 50% chance of signing Diggs, and 30% chance of signing Aiyuk and 10% chance of signing both (maybe Aiyuk after game one to pay game by game)
