Cam having a 6'5 #1 WR and 6'3 #2 WR would be HUGE!!!! literally lol

 

steve smith in the slot with olsen at TE

 

make it happen. DOUBLE DIP for WR

What even makes it more amazing is that both guys can go and get the ball, can get OPEN, and make plays down field after the catch

 

When you have wide receivers you can trust, you can get the ball out faster, alleviates alot of the o-line woes

 

When you score points it makes it easier on your defense, our secondary can be fixed through free agencies

 

If Rivera reads this, GET KELVIN BENJAMIN AND DONTE MONCRIEF

but his projection is rising, or us normal people are just now catching up to where his true stock is. he is just as explosive if not more then Evans after the catch, you should see the TD he scored on Florida where he ran thru several tackles and scored off a slant.(they have several NFL players in there secondary)

 

i hope he is there in the 2nd, if so i hope he is the pick.

 

I've actually gone through a couple game tapes in my spare time this week of some of the other WR's besides Evans and Benjamin and I have to go back on what I said about Benjamin. I'm still firmly an Evans homer but I honestly wouldn't mind taking Benjamin in the 1st. I still think Benjamin lacks some in some areas Evans excels, but Benjamin and Evans are light years ahead of the other "Big" WR's in this draft. 

 

Both Evans and Benjamin possess strong hands for making catches.

Both have large frames.

Both have above average speed for a 6'5" WR.

I still believe Evans is a better playmaker, but Benjamin isn't as far off as I remembered going back and re-watching a couple FSU games this year.

Both had Heisman candidates throwing to them.

 

Overall it wouldn't surprise me once teams start to analyze the WR crop this year, they'll see Evans, Watkins and Benjamin as the 3 best WR's by a long shot. Only other WR close to this group is Allen Robinson.

Ok so without trading up sammy is gone so is usc's wr. That said if we don't go te were running out of smitty replacements. Benjamin hasn't been getting a lot of hype but what an athletic freak. 6'5 240 who moves like a reciver. He is a bit raw but his potential is unlimited. Think cam at wr coming out of the draft. What say you?

 

Dude, there's reportedly a fair amount of talent in this draft. I have looked at some of the vids myself. There's no guarantee that Watkins is going first. A lot is going to depend upon what happens at the Combine and workouts. There are some experts who I've seen rank Watkins first for sure, but then there are some that rank Mike Evans, Marquise Lee, and Jordan Matthews (to name a few) in front of him.  Moreover, Brandon Coleman, Jaelen Strong, Donte Moncrief, and Devin Street are all "big" receivers.  Any one of those guys could go ahead of Benjamin at the present moment.

Light years? Poppycock!  Brandon Coleman and Jaelen Strong are right there with Benjamin.  I could also argue that Moncrief and Street are just as enticing, though they don't have the QBs to truly show their potential.

Evans is at this point the better receiver. I dont think he's as athletic as Benjamin, but Evans seem more explosive. Evans will more than likely be the no1 or no2 receiver off the board in May. Benjamin is having a tremendous season, but I think he hasnt make a case to be a high 1st round pick yet due to having one good season. If he does decide to enter the draft, we should be in position to draft him. Jordan Matthews may go ahead of Benjamin.

most of everything that i read is saying he is leaning towards entering. he is a red shirt Soph, but turns 23 in February. plus a lot of nole  fans are saying he is leaving.

 

I think it's time for leave but if he stays I can see that too.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By frankw · Posted

      Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.

      Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.

      Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
