Prediction: Kelvin Benjamin > Sammy Watkins


Recommended Posts

And I'm sorry, look at all these gifs and tell me HE DOESN'T HAVE HANDS!!! IT'S A GOD DAMN LIE!!!

 

He has good hands, but he sometimes tried to run before he caught the ball on the easy or routine catches (concentration).   He was looking for the big play.  He is going to be a good one.

Nice GIF's.

 

One thing I notice about Benjamin (among many): He tracks the ball well. 

 

You notice in most of his highlights, he turns around, extends or explodes, and catches the ball with the DB on his feet, or out of position.

 

This is because, instead of turning around early and allowing the DB to fight, jostle with him, KB just appears to turn at the right time and find the space to catch the ball.This is also cause he runs decent routes, and/can be shifty, before (as well as after the catch as we've seen). 

 

Of course, NFL DB's will be better. However, I fee this bodes well for him in the future.

The guy has a lot of potential and I sure hope he does become the panthers top WR for the next 10 years but to say better than Watkins is a very bold statement but then again how many times has those can't miss players get drafted in the top 10 and end up becoming a bust? Look at the 2005 NFL draft, 6 WRS taken in the first and only one is still playing and he was the last WR drafted in the first with the #27 pick, Roddy White. Braylon Edwards, Troy Williamson, Mike Williams, Matt Jones, Mark Clayton were the others drafted in the 1st round. Who knows maybe its time we finally got lucky on WRs in the Draft for once.

    • Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.
    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
