Kelvin Benjamin - The Right Pick

[4Corners]

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.

You have posted that statement in about 6 other threads this morning....no one cared then, and don't care now.

 

Coming from the guy that quotes it lmao

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.

i would have been relatively excited about Cyrus or Robinson. 

 

D/A with this. Robinson would have been a reach at 28 and Cyrus has too many medical red flags.

Was hoping for some good reading today.

Guess I'll just avoid it, since the haters are out in force.

After all, theu are right, and everybody else is wrong.

To bad I can't and wont joon them in they pitty party.

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.

How is Robinson a reach? 

 

6'2

4.5

1,400 rec yards

Nice YAC ability

High points

 

Cyrus was already cleared by THE doctor for the NFL.

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 .
