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.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really?  Back to this again? How many times have I said that I’d prefer to trade back from #1? Too many to count, but as I’ve pointed out, that’s going to be much easier said than done, as once we signal we want to trade back, teams will know we don’t want any of the QBs and they’d target the 2nd pick in a trade instead. All of my “T-Mac at #1” talk has been discussed under two circumstances… the first being that no QB or DE pop before the draft, and that we can’t trade back. But again, I know you don’t like to actually read that stuff when I say it, as I’ve said it numerous times.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By SCO96 · Posted

      Thanks for posting this. While this was far from a great performance, this critique shows what some of us noticed last week. Bryce played "a little better". There is some talent there. But, as you pointed out we really don't have a great pass blocking line for dropping back each down when we are behind. BY has got some bad habits and physical limitations. At times his teammates let him down. The play calling isn't always the best. I hope he can learn from last week and show us some improvement in the Saints game.

      Oh, and yes, I’d take a WR first in this upcoming draft, but again, that’s not in a vacuum I wouldn’t have taken him over the QBs this past year or likely the ones next year either. It’s all relative to who is available in a specific draft, and I don’t think any of the QB’s are worth the risk at #1 this year. Also the fact that you’ve said you would take T-Mac #2 but scoff at him going #1 is just in itself, super weird.  How you can justify a player at #2 but not #1 solely because of their position and with complete disregard to the other players available, is absolutely crazy town talk
