Kelvin Benjamin - The Right Pick

[nctarheel0619]

I don't know if hes the RIGHT pick.  But he damn sure was a solid pick.  I'm cautiously optimistic, but Gettlemen has yet to steer me wrong.  So, I am perfectly fine with this.

I gave you plenty

 

Good size 6'2

Good speed 4.4

Great production 1,400 rec yards

Great YAC / Shiftiness 

Great vertical 39in

 

Well, 32 NFL staffs and scouting departments disagree with you......lol

Get him on the Jugs machine with Olsen.  I hope we get real creative with him.  Use him like a Tony Gonzalez and just let him box dudes out. He is a matchup nightmare.

 

i like jugs.... oh wait thats not what you meant

[UpstatePanther]

ditto. I absolutely hate this pick. He's too big. 

 

what kind of stupidity does it take to say that an NFL wide reciever is "too big"? the very fact that he IS so big is what gives him half his value. i agree he has enormous bust potential, but not because he is too big. im more concerned about his butterfinger hands. route running is suspect too but that can be taught. if the guy cant catch the rock consistently, it wont matter how tall he is. i think he will be a success... but im not holding my breath

 

i am comfortable with the pick, but not sold out for him yet. in Gman i trust.

I trust Proehl's assessment over my own. I'm confident he will be productive for us.

at 9:30 you see k-beast in the slot. he runs a quick but smooth out and catches a redzone td. he can get  off the line....but you don't notice it because kb is actually a smooth route runner to a point.

also his drops are from trying to get yac  before he secures the balls...not from a lack of hands. that can be fixed

Exactly. The three posters that are upset need to get over it and realize our front office has spent the past five months, day and night, working towards this draft. 

 

 

Trust their judgement until given a reason otherwise.

[UpstatePanther]

We don't have much historical luck with receivers in the first 2 rounds but hopefully that changes now.  

 

we have also not had Gettleman's eye for talent.

How many teams passed on Sherman? Your point? lol

The debbie downers need to just go ahead and off themselves, or get on board.

[PhillyB]

he's going to be dez bryant-esque minus the idiocy and cammy cam is gonna make him a star. i'm so fuging ready for this season to start

You guys calling him 'slow' off of the line are dead wrong:
 

Vincent Jackson: 1.57

Marques Colston: 1.60

Kelvin Benjamin: 1.62

Alshon Jeffery: 1.64


I think he gets off the ball just fine compared to other large WR's.

I think people are saying for a WR in general, not simply a large WR.
