I think Aiyuk has a really good rapport with Lance and am excited about the pairing. That said, I’m closer to agreeing with Matt Barrows than your ranking (quote from his Athletic mailbag):
I'm excited about Lance. Frankly, I have a hard time believing he won't be better than Jimmy G.
long term I agree Lance should be monumentally better than JimmyG.
Honestly I doubt the 10 is even in play. That’s a SF fan site and there is no quote from anyone associated with the Jets in that article. It’s based on “word around the league”, whatever that means.

Yeah, that's nuts. I saw that on Twitter, too. Be very careful about Twitter. People ####post there all the time. It's sometimes sarcasm.
It wasn't a real offer - it was an article written by some woman beat-writer that was trying to come up with trade scenarios that "made sense" - ignoring the fact that her suggested deal did not make sense for the Jets.
What about if I wish really, really, really hard on a falling star? Can we make it a real offer, like when Pinocchio became a real boy?
I believe this was the genesis of it:
If I were the Jets, I'd covet 1.04 & 1.10 this year, because the oline and dline are deep, and they might never draft that high again. With 2.03 & 2.06 a good safety or CB should be available. That's an upgrade at 3 positions, possibly a major upgrade or 2. Deebo Samuel would be another major upgrade.
In the AFC, it's possible Wilson shows very well and the pick still ends up being high - but yes I'd prefer that scenario to giving up pick 10 plus more.
There's no way that's a real offer - why would SF be "waiting" in that case. Twitter lets anyone say anything with no real ramifications. I'm sure some nobody out-scooped Schefter, Glazer and the rest.
Piling on here, but there’s no way in hell that offer was extended to the Niners. If it were, DeeBo would already be a Jet.
That's way more draft value than KC got for Tyreek. Plus, Elijah Moore really came on last year, he might be really good.
And Moore's salary is peanuts the next 3 years. Not sure his value alone, due to the age/contract numbers, would be viewed as that far off from Deebo.
The sad state of (the lack of) critical thinking in that people believe what they see on Twitter/any social media without any pause or consideration. And others perpetuate that by reacting to the (mis)information.
Unless the negotiations are much farther along than anyone knows, there is very little chance this deal get done. I can't imagine anyone trading for Deebo without a physical and contract extension worked out.
I think it was part of a flood of sarcastic tweets about fake Deebo offers. Not sure it was ever supposed to be serious but it definitely took flight.
I don't doubt that the offers the 49ers received were of the lowball variety. I prefer the made-up overpay scenario that was floating around earlier.
