Aiyuk may be good but no he is not a world beater, if he were they wouldn't be shopping/trolling him. He is fortunate to play in Shanahan's system with a stout o-line protecting his QB.  The issue is San Fran's cap issues. They actually had to take a HUGE (26m) cap hit cutting Armstead. .  Note that Trent Williams currently counts 31 million against their cap at the age of 35.  They need to draft cheaper personnel and this year's draft is flush with receivers and o-line. We need to take advantage of these positions being deep, Not trade our picks to San Fran so they can. Besides we already have multiple 5'11' , 200 pound receivers that are faster and quicker than Aiyuk.

He a proven commodity, the kid can play and he hasn’t even peaked yet.. IDK, it’s a win now league, and now the Jags can focus on D line, CB, O line exclusively and draft a receiver in the 3rd or 4th round, that can develop…

Well it really is a matter of dollars here. Yes, the kid can play in San Fran with Deboo opposite him.  He is on the last year of his deal, 14 million cap hit this year. His value is shown on spot trac as 24 million a year. We all know the bill on TL and others are coming due next year. San Fran is in maybe level 8 cap hell and Shanahan would not let him loose if he didn't believe he could draft a receiver and do almost the same without him. (we can do the same) We already have his type here under contract. They may even have to cut him and take the 14mill dead cap hit as the did with Armstead.(26 million)
