On Twitter on Monday afternoon, NFL insider Adam Caplan said that the more NFL wide receiver coaches he speaks to, the more he believes that wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will be drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft later this month. (Adam Caplan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Aiyuk hasn't been mentioned in the top tier of wide receivers in this draft that includes Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, and Henry Ruggs, but he has been in the conversation with several other wide receivers who are expected to be selected in the first two round of the draft. Caplan adds that Aiyuk "has no holes in his game," and that combined with his big-play ability could push him into the first-round conversation ahead of wide receivers like Justin Jefferson, Tee Higgins, Laviska Shenault, and Denzel Mims.
