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. 

 

Ive read the opposite, slow out the gate but is able to pick up speed after getting some head of steam.

Guess we all need to feel important lmao 

 

Guess that is why you keep posting the same comment in every thread.  You are the George Castanza of the Huddle....you think if you say it enough time, it becomes the truth. :P

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. 

 

Robinson may still be there when we pick in 2nd round. It wouldn't surprise me if he slips to the 3rd round.

Jarrett looked good in college.....but he was still slow in college off the line. Jarrett had near identical size heading into the NFL.

KB's speed comes after he is downfield. He is slow off the line and out of the gate.

I do think he is perhaps more physical.....so hopefully that will be the key difference into him being able to be successful here.

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 .

 

That is very accurate.

 

There were no picks that did not have question marks about them.

 

We could have gone another WR like Lee or Robinson...but both also have ??

 

There was no top OT on the board.

 

1st had a run on CB's and those would be a strech.

 

We took the highest rated player on our board....and yes, he does have weaknesses and question marks.

So what you're saying is that Gettleman took the BPA and a player that fit our needs? Not trying to give you too much of a hard time, but being so pessimistic about a WR pick with a ton of upside because of a few question marks is absurd. All WRs selected in the first round have question marks. Just the way it goes.

Why didn't any other team draft him in the first? I wouldn't be too upset if we got him with our 2nd rounder as long as Moses isn't available.

I gotcha dude...I just wish someone would have picked him before we did. I guess I would have rather had him than MLee.

Why did teams pass on Brady or any other great talent past the 1st round? 

 

When you say someone is a reach you need to be able to say why, not just that people past on him.

Right..I still don't care for the pick but it looks like our hands were kinda tied. Hopefully Dollar Tree Dave kills it in the rest of the draft.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      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. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      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
