Kelvin Benjamin - The Right Pick


Zod

Recommended Posts

He didn't go to UNC so he at least has a shot at not being a bust

 

Good one, chunky. I'm entitled to my opinion. Others share it. This isn't me with nothing better to do on a Friday morning. This has been my opinion since we started making threads about him. 

 

Just to be clear - I'm not rooting for him to fail and obviously I will support the guy now.

I hope Bejamin is a very quick study and works hard to try and make an impact right away.  We don't have much historical luck with receivers in the first 2 rounds but hopefully that changes now.  Bejamin has the height and wingspan.  he just needs the technical skills and route running which is surely teachable.

Why? Because I don't like the pick? Go back and read the threads from a few months ago. I haven't changed my tune. I absolutely hate this pick.

Who would you have drafted and why?

Only issue I worry about is sort of the Jarrett issue (no, not his lazy work ethics and booze abuse).....but he is big and slow out of the gate. Getting off the line and open at the next level is my concern about him.

Yes agree w/ this. Also, I think he's 23-24...I don't know how much more he's going to be able to develop.

I has read that he is quick out of the breaks and gets separation, he doesn't have great straight line speed but that is why we have underwood and I expect we will pick up another faster smaller receiver today or tomorrow.  We need a possession receiver like Moose who could block and catch anything close to him.  That is what we have in Benjamin.  At his size I can't imagine trouble getting off the line.

I agree with this pick.. i dont remember where i said it, but somewhere on this forum i mentioned that that needed a big WR  and thats probably what they were gonna go after ...glad this guy fell to us in the draft. hes a solid 28th pick.   I would have loved to have a OL   but  there is plenty of them left!

Well you do have a good point on this one - there wasn't really much left in regards to 1st round talent IMHO. Didn't want Lee, Didn't want Cyrus. Bitonio and Robinson would have been reaches at 28. Wouldn't have hated a Morgan Moses pick .

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
