The St. Louis Rams pick WR Mardy Gilyard in the 4th round
The Rams have picked WR Mardy Gilyard with the 99th overall pick (4th round) of the NFL Draft. Gilyard is 5’11″, 182 pounds and he runs a 4.5 40. Gilyard doesn’t have the size or speed to play outside the numbers but he has all of the skills needed for a slot receiver. Gilyard played in 13 games (all starts) for Cincinnati last season in which he caught 87 passes for 1,191 yards (13.7 avg) with 11 TD grabs. He played in 48 games (32 starts) in his four years with the Bearcats and he caught 204 passes for 3,003 yards (14.7 avg) with 25 TD grabs. Gilyard will likely be the Rams’ #3 or #4 WR from day #1 and he should help them out on special teams right away too.
