I agree, at least I hope that was their thinking and not that this group would be even be remotely acceptable. We are looking at a solid #1 guy in Pickens, but after that not only don’t they have a #2, but it can be argued they don’t even have a league average #3 on the roster.Seems like they put all their eggs in Aiyuk’s basket.
Jay Glazier said in the Fox pregame that apparently Aiyuk was on his way to the Steelers the morning his extension happened. Lynch and Co. were on the horn hammering it out when Aiyuk and Shanahan had a chat at their complex.
I also think they were really counting on Wilson to emerge and his injury in preseason really set his progress back.
