Mardy Gilyard SHOULD be the Pick..

Please let these Colt McCoy rumors be false. We need another playmaker on offense and Gilyard is going to be the real deal. Watch some of his college highlights it just screams Carolina Panthers at you, im not kidding. Not too mention he's a good return man..forget Tate, this is the guy Carolina has too get. Best part is we may even be able to trade back alittle and still get him since theres a lot of talent left.

Just curious what's everyones knock on Gilyard? It's not like the guy doesn't suit us in more ways than one...We need a playmaker, not another possession receiver..

I like the guy alot.....but I just have always liked Golden more. I can see how Gilyard would be a better fit here, however.

Skinny, average hands, average speed. Desean Jackson without the 5th gear.

I completely agree on not trading up for a QB, and i would rather take Clausen if we were trading up, not McCoy! But again, i dont want a QB, Tate, Benn or Gilyard would make me happy at this point...But knowing Fox and what we have lost this offseason a trade up likely means defense..

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
