Damiere Byrd Turning Heads

Which proven receiver would we keep Byrd over lol?!

Brown made a team with much fewer viable receivers competing. Byrds situation is not as favorable for an undrafted guy.

Ok so Brown made a team with Avant, Cotchery, and Bersin as I believe we only kept 5 receivers last year. 

Of that group Brown, Cotchery and Bersin are left, out of this group only Brown offers the potential for play making ability. Last year Bersin was the 2nd big receiver of the group, drafting Funchess makes him more expendable. 

Byrd offers more bang for your buck in one to two plays a game vs Cotchery or Bersin in three or four. I mean we were so bad off last year at receiver overall tha we had Cotchery in the pistol as the pitch option....now replace him with Byrd, and put Brown or Ginn back in at that slot position and that is a recipe to really for the defense to choose vs that set. 

Or even as a bottom of the roster guy I'd rather see a young player continuing to develop vs average players like Bersin, or Cotchery if it came down to those three for a final spot as I don't think Byrd will be hidden on the PS after the pre-season begins.

Byrd hasnt done anything at all yet. As much as I want him to be all world he has to make the team first. I will reserve judgement until after preseason.

if this was Madden, Byrd would be my 5th WR, but watching a few of his highlight vids I would have to see him run the full route tree to really cement him on the roster......all the clips of him I seem to find are him on go routes, outrunning DBs which to be perfectly honest I would keep him just for that....with Cams arm he wouldnt have to slow down to make the catches he was making..I seen somebody else mention it as well but he reminds me of smitty coming out of college, small, speedy kid that can go and out jump/fight for the ball against taller DBs...

as far as Byrd in relation to Bersin, I don't see why people are as high on Bersin as they are... he seems like a good kid and if I were making a team based on a storyline I would love to have the kid from the small college that the owner of the team came from that rose to be an elite WR in the league but at best his ceiling seems to be the 5th WR....he is BY FAR the worst PR/KR option I have ever seen on this team and that is usually where the 5th WR puts his work in....I have said this on a few other sites but I think if he wanted a roster spot he should switch over to TE and put on some weight.....he looks like a smaller version of Olsen, he's tall, is a decent route runner, and has really good hands....the only thing he lacks is weight/strength to help block... and he11 the tried Marcus Lucas out there so why not =)

my hopes for what the depth chart looks like goes.....Benjiman, Funchess, Ginn, Brown, Byrd, Cotchery and if we keep 7 (which I doubt) it would be a toss up between Boykin and Bersin.....3 possession receivers in KB, Funch, and Cotch...then 3 that can take the top off in Ginn, Brown and Byrd.....really seems like a no brainer to me.....there is no way Bersins ceiling is even close to Byrds from what I have seen and if the coaches try to stash a burner like this on the PS, he will be picked up as soon as his name pops up on the list

Why wasn't this kid drafted again?

He is not only very small bodied but like  7 th in receiving yards for the USC this year - really his speed is the one thing that gets him any notice - oh yeah - hes a smart kid too - 3.47 gpa  supposedly

Pretty much this. Dylan Thompson couldn't connect the long ball and the drag,wheel and go were all Spurrier would send him on. Just about every time he was open the ball was drastically underthrown.

Really can't wait to see this guy in action
