Mardy Gilyard, WR - Cincinnati
Pick made by BlueVol03:
Gilyard can help immediately with the Niners return game, establishing much better field position than they have had in recent years. Gilyard was electric returning kicks for the Bearcats including a dynamic return in the Oklahoma game. He has good vision and does a good job of finding his lanes and following his blockers. Not too shabby for a kid who was living out of his car just a few years ago. He should also find playing time in the slot at receiver. He's not a #1 receiver type but should be able to find the holes in the zone out of the slot.
I considered taking Dexter McCluster with this pick based solely on what I watched him do to my Vols. However, I went with Gilyard who has had more success in the return game and seems ready to play out of the slot right now.
