comments on KB vs the Pats:

Pete Prisco @PriscoCBS

I think I was wrong about Kelvin Benjamin

Lead National NFL Writer For Bleacher Report Aaron Nagler:

Aaron Nagler @ AaronNagler

I will admit - Kelvin Benjamin looks ten times better than I thought he would this early on.

Assistant Editor for BuffaloBillsDraft.com Joe Marino:

Joe Marino @ TheJoeMarino

Kelvin Benjamin has really looked better than I anticipated he would.

This is what Pete Prisco had to say about the Panthers drafting KB:

"Kelvin Benjamin is a big receiver, but I liked others more...Grade: D"

Honestly, mid-way through last season he was my #1 choice and was all the way until Gross retired. Then I lost my way and coveted the position of LT over the guy I wanted.

After the draft my friend said, "you are an idiot. You preach BPA then when your team takes the guy you wanted for five months, a guy who was BPA and at a position of severe need you are worried." He was right

KB is a guaranteed mismatch on every play.  The elite offenses load up on mismatch players and allow QB’s to make the pre-snap read to go to those guys.  Denver, N.E. and the Saints do this for 4 quarters and put up 30 plus points per game.  I think teams will blanket him all season.  The question is if KB being doubled teamed will open up other aspects of this offense enough to put up points.  If they can do that I think our defense is good enough to put up a bunch of wins again.

I agree and I think they are saving this for the regular season.

I hope so.  I won't be shocked if that's not entirely true though..  This team is set up to run 2 TE sets as a staple offense and it will be a huge shame if used sparingly.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
