Soooooo temped to take Benjamin in fantasy.

Totally have the feeling he will be a beast.

2011 Cam was my day one starter in my money league

2013 I drafted Panthers defense with the last pick, top defense

2014.... Benjamin

I'm calling it.

I was thinking about that as well... I've done a few yahoo mock drafts and I haven't seen him drafted at all in a 10 team draft. Another guy that I haven't seen drafted yet....Steve Smith. Both would be available in the last round.

I actually think Smitty is gonna kill it this year.  Maybe not like 1300+ yards or anything like that during his prime years, but I believe he'll have a better year than he did last year.

 

He's finally gonna have other threats at WR to take the pressure off of him and he'll be primarily in the slot.  He won't be facing the other team's best corners or double covered like he was here with us.  I also think the Ravens are transitioning into more of a passing attack this year.  He's literally like the perfect slot receiver archetype and would make Wes Welker look like a cheap knock off.

 

He'd be a solid pick up in FF if you were able to get him later on IMO.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
