gilyard & Price

I saw a mock draft that had us taking Marty Gilyard WR/Kr in the 2nd round. I also saw that in the third round they had us taking a DT, but three picks after our pick they had T. Price going from Ohio. If you were Marty, would you be bold and take both WR's with the 2nd and 3rd round pick and then try and trade the 4th for Ume in NY? By the way, that same Mock had us taking Lefleur in the 6th, so we still get our QB, but later then most think. I think if we did that we would feel better around here. Any thoughts?

Whoever did that mock is retarded. Firstly, Gilyard will be available in the 3rd round.. and might even slip to the 4th. Secondly, LeFevour's stock is soaring and will be taken in the 3rd.. and could go in the 2nd. Lastly, no, I would not take 2 WRs back to back. I think we take 2 WRs in the draft.. but not back to back.

I don't like what I've seen of Gilyard. I'd take Price, Easley or Roberts over ole Mardy. Most of those, if not all three will be there in the third. At least one will be there when we pick @ 78.

Remember, Smitty wasn't hyped when we took him in 2001. He was just a STs guy and a project WR at best. I think we need to stop frothing over the media hyped guys.

No actually, Smith wasn't... He was MVP of the Senior Bowl and made a lot of noise at WR as well as returner...

78 is also too early for Price, Easley, and Roberts...

Gilyard is light years ahead of all three of them, and the dislike for him here is unfounded...

You and I both... but FWIW, I think we'll still have #48 too...

I actually agree with this as well. I suspect we'll trade next year's first for a late first/early second in this draft. Might even throw in a third rounder since we'll likely get a comp pick in the third round for Pep.

    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
