WR Gilyard Improves 40 time at Pro Day
I realize I'm just adding to the jinx but...
Gilyard, Joe Reedy writes, improved his 40-time from 4.56 to 4.47 and made a few nice grabs. Tony Pike, on the other hand, "struggled early with a couple of his passes sailing high" and there "were also a couple times when he wasn’t on the same page as his receivers". He would eventually settle down.

Still wanting LaFell however.
I would still prefer to have B. Lafell and then select in round 3 or 4 a Jacob ford or A. Roberts or A. Edwards as a return specialist and slot receiver. I would be very, very, very happy with Gilyard my only concern is can he be a legitmate #2 receiver opposite smitty or are we just letting numbers cloud or clear and better judgement.
Either way our first pick in the second round needs to be a WR unless something changes such as a trade up or down, etc…

The Bengals appear very interested in Gilyard
they have two picks before our first pick…but if they take him then certainly one of the other two WR’s will be there. Maybe LaFell or Benn (who is dropping since the combine). I would rather have a spped guy then a big WR like Benn though and his faults sound eerily similar to Jarrett’s problems, route running.

On a side note, Kemo signed with the Deadskins today
Was their 1st FA signing I think
Otherwise known as SouthTunnel. Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine.
Quite a risk to sign him before the injury heals
but it is the Redskins

incentives
most of his contract is based on incentives though which is a pretty smart move by the redskins. that way if he isn’t healed and is a bust up there, they won’t owe him much.

On another side note
One Jet’s fan says Wright is a great special teamer, but will likely never develop into anything more.

Good stuff...I can see why this is a guy we signed
Need a gunner across from Wesley

Wesley is UFA
Would love to have them out there together though. Special teams were a huge part of our 08’ success. It’ll be huge to get Moore on a short field, and this younger defense on a long field.

+1
totally agree…I just posted about that on a different thread.
