Mardy Gilyard WR

You're calling him a bust cuz of the combine? Didn't Heyward-Bey have a good combine last year?

Wow jump to conclusions much, Heyward-Bey has played one season with perhaps one of the worst QB's in league history throwing him the ball most of said season.

Wasn't jumping to conclusions, just stating my opinion. Calling somebody a bust cuz of the combine workout over a solid college career is jumping to conclusions.

But calling somebody a bust who has 1 year under there belt playing with the worst QB in the NFL and a terrible offensive line that doesn't give said QB time to throw him the ball isn't........interesting.

Which part of my post did I call him a bust?

By questioning someones post where they said Gilyard's combine shows he will be a bust then turning around and saying your using someones combine to say they are a bust "didn't DHB have a good combine last year", makes it appear that you are implying he is a bust despite having a good combine.

Nobody is widely considered a bust until about their 2nd or 3rd year. That is if they make it that far, all I'm trying to point out is that the combine doesn't mean jack until the players are in pads & you can see what they can do against pro athletes.

Fair enough and for what it's worth I just don't see Gilyard being explosive enough to be a playmaker at the NFL level.

I respect that. I don't know if he will be either, but we gotta take a chance on somebody & with our draft position he might be the best wr option available so who knows?

I would rather draft someone with the game breaking speed. You cant teach speed you can teach a kid how to run routes. I'm pretty high on Jacoby Ford and Mike Williams right now and if the reports about Thomas running a 4.38 before he fractured his foot are accurate I think the Panthers would be foolish not to draft him in the second.

When it comes to style of play thats who DJ reminds me of..Now all we need is his production to match..lol

I think if Moore is the starter this season and DJ is allowed to actually get on the field more then two snaps a game you will see his production at the level everyone was hoping for the last 3 years. Otherwise he will probably just be producing somewhere else in 2011.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
