Ideal 1st Round Pick for Carolina [UPDATED]

Recommended Posts

[bump/Edit] : I want to see you guys thoughts now… this was from when we were 1-3 and we thought we could get watkins if the season didn't turn around… now that we have pick #28 what do we do

 

 

Who is the ideal pick for Carolina in the 2014 NFL draft?

 

Kelvin Benjamin (WR Florida State University, 6'5" 235lb)

 

This guy is a playmaker, has elite calvin johnson like size, and can just flat out out jump his defender and go up and make a grab.

 

I like to compare him to Vincent Jackson, He can be a poor mans Calvin Johnson, which being a poor mans Calvin is not a bad thing at all.

40 Yard Dash: Low: 4.44  40 time: 4.54  High: 4.64

Unofficial but I read somewhere he has a 35" Vertical

 

Highlights:  

 

Sports Science did a segment on his reach: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=10239292

 

                   

I believe he can be Cam's go to guy for years to come.

 

Is this the ideal pick for the Panthers? if not who is?

Watkins was MIA last year....

 

I'll take 708 yards and 3 TDs as "MIA".  The guy broke out his freshmen year and was Clemon's only threat, so he got a ton of passes his way.  Last year Hopkins arrived on the scene and took alot of his touches away.  This doesn't mean that Watkins wasn't getting open, it just meant there were 2 threats on the field.  It's obvious now that Watkins can still dominate, considering his biggest game of the year so far was against Georgia.

It wil be interesting to see if Watkins falls to us. I'm not sure he will. Those 0-6 Giants might want a elite WR if they do dump off Nicks.

I don't care who we choose as long as its an OL or WR. But, I like Watkins size and speed. I know short receivers can do well in the NFL - but still rather have taller kids.

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
