Most mock drafts have us taking Gilyard with our first pick. But if Dexter McCluster is there why not take him over Gilyard? They have similar body frames, skill sets i.e. kick returning, and weaknesses ability to get off the line of scrimmage. But McCluster is faster, more of a threat afer the catch, and is a high character guy.

If we are not going to get a big polished receiver why not get the best home run threat available?

noooooo!! :o we're taking gilyard and it's final! i'm going to the draft and when they put the panthers on the clock i'm gonna jump from the rafters yelling "giiiiiilyaaaard!!", and then he'll be all ours forever! forever!! mwahaha.

i don't think you can say anyone in the draft is more of a threat with the ball in his hands than gilyard. maybe someone can tie him in that area, but to say definitively someone is better is a bit of a stretch. they're also not really the same frame. gilyard is taller with longer arms i think.

just in case anyone else wants to look at these and compare... mccluster reminds me of a big play maker in the kicking game by the name of Devin Hester... but i think gilyard has better hands and would be a better receiver than mccluster. (note: mccluster doesn't have catches in his vid i posted above, i don't think...)

I think Gilyard's the overall better player, but McCluster can ball, as well. We need a WR, and I think Gilyard's definitely the better WR. McCluster would be great in the return game.

I really want Tate, but I'd be happy with Gilyard also.

yeah, i want Tate too :yesnod:

i hope we trade up to get him, and pick up another guy, like jacoby ford in a later round.

*Starts to build water tank large enough to contain tears of disappointment*

dude, i will cry if we don't get Tate... but i'll kill myself if we don't get at least Gilyard or Brandon Lafell. so you might wanna build that tank large enough to hold body parts...

McCluster and Holliday are both undersized RB's not the pure WR we need. Gilyard could be groomed into a WR/KR all these two will ever be is gimmick players and never be worth a 2nd round pick.

oh no it would be foolish to suggest either mccluster or holliay in the 2nd .. would never draft holliday till at least the 6th .. mccluster 4 - 5 th

I agree that McCluster is more of a running back much in the mold of a guy we already have in Goodson.

Gilyard would be a threat on returns as well as receiving. He is Ryne Robinson in a larger package with better receiving skills.

      I was definitely on board with re-signing Darnold for another year while they drafted someone. Darnold really turned a corner once he came back in the second half of 2022. He is one of the better QBs in the NFL now for sure. Still makes those patented Darnold blunders though, evidenced by throwing a pick on a potential game winning drive yesterday. But he was also stellar at times during that game too.

      I dare you to go “pull the records” on my Cam posts. 🤣🤣🤣  Kyle Allen posts too.  I was one of the few screaming how garbage he was early.  Also, look up the posts and see what side I was on when it was rumored Olsen tried to console Cam his rookie year after a tough loss.  And whose side I was on when people criticized Cam for the towel, or “pouting” or for dancing.  I have never wavered.  Not only do I pull for Cam as an athlete, but I felt a kinship with him dating back to his Florida days.  I wrote about it here.  I know what it’s like to be judged off your persona, your reputation that someone else has given you, off falsehoods, off appearances, off of a mistake.  I know what it’s like to be ridiculed and omitted from opportunities for those things.  I’ve never me Cam, but that’s my brother.  So, anything insinuating anything else is hilarious.  I was riding for Cam when half the board wanted Marcel Dareus.🤣  I was riding for Cam and running off racists like “TheRealDeal” over Matt Moore (who, actually was a damn good QB, imo, but he was no Cam).  To this day, I still maintain, if we signed Cam off the street right now, he is the best QB on this roster instantly.  I don’t care what anyone says.   So if you have some sort of previous history with another poster or posters that made the racial component obvious, then please share, but when it’s coming from me?  Trust and believe - this ain’t that.  Never will be.  And no doubt, a ton of Cam hate was purely racial.  But, I call a spade a spade.  Mentioning Bryce in the same breath as Cam is objectively insulting.

      I haven’t. And always willing to show face. If you’re going to a game let me know. Love for you to explain why I’m an idiot to my face.
