potential or current value even if that is the players ceiling?

 

I keep hearing Benjamin as the wr most people want, but i keep hearing scouts say he is stiff in space and drops the easy balls(Does a certain receiver who may or may not wear #11 come to mind?)

 

Or draft a receiver like Jordan Matthews who clearly does not have benjamins potential, but appears to be the more polished wr.

 

Id rather have the sure thing, but thats just me.

Benjamin, like Lafell has lapses in concentration. Other than that they are nothing alike. But I hear you.

The more video I watch, the more I like Landry and Beckham. But I want a big receiver more, we need a red zone threat. Benjamin, Moncrief, Matthews all would be fine by me.

Seriously need to douple dip tho. I wonder if they do tag Hardy an trade him if Oakland would be willing to give up there 2nd and 3rd.

Thats the point. Polished receivers tends to drop while the raw guys gets drafted high. Thats even more true in the NBA. These decision makers tends to like those with the higher ceiling.

I dont really care who we take at reciever. He just need to be a stud. Whether thats KB, Matthews, Beckham, Moncrief, etc.

But, the KB to LaFail comparison that Ive seen in the last couple of days is really disturbing. Theyre nothing alike!!!!!

I disagree, they are somewhat similar coming out of college. Look at the draft profiles of both of them coming out of college.

Lafell

 

Benjamin

 

Similarities:

Poor route running

Lapses in concentration

Good Speed (but not great)

Good Catch Radius

Not Vertical Threats

 

Differences:

Height

Benjamin is better in jump ball situations

That's some damn draft profiles. The way you sound, I really think you have not seen a single snap of Benjamin.

 

(1) Go on YouTube

(2) Type in "Kelvin Benjamin"

(3) Click a vid.

(4) Watch it

(5) Tell me if you see the same wide receiver to LaFail

Benjamin! He only played 2 yrs in college and  had 15 + td this season.  Standing  6'5" he would compliment Olsen  and allow Smitty to move to the Slot and we could pick him up in 2nd round while still getting a OL  in the 1st.

Matthews without a doubt. He runs good routes and gets open while being double or tripled covered. He was Vandy's only legimate weapon, and still put up numbers. Benjamin is more like Stephen Hill without his speed or you could say Boldin without route running skills. It's fun to have a weapon in the redzone to throw it up to, but Lions got one of those as UDFA (Fuaria). You draft a limited receiver in the first or second round.

hardy is a first round tag.

 

he has the second most sacks in the NFL. and is in the top 3 best defensive ends in the nfl right now.

      At least Rivera got the Super Bowl, and then lost is because he refused to adjust.  Rod’s likely will never get to the Stanley Cup unless the team he coaches is stacked and can overcome Rods weird decisions making.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      We've literally seen him hop around the pocket to survey the field in multiple occurrences. Defenses have this on tape. Cam and QB's like him built the way he was height and strength wise could get by on those natural gifts in their prime. Bryce Young is unequivocally going to have to go above and beyond with his footwork in order to carve out not just a long career but an elite career worthy of a top overall draft selection. We should be able to wholeheartedly agree with one another on that. Intermediate sideline throws without placing the ball out of bounds where the receiver has to contort themselves or make an absurd acrobatic catch for it to be a completion. And yes developing a better chemistry in the deep passing game with his receivers to avoid miscues. Both areas will need to see improvement if the young offense is to develop the way we hope in 2025. And we don't necessarily need to be winning mind you. But development of the supporting cast requires this from Bryce. We have invested a ton of capital in the offensive line. We've invested heavily in WR. We've invested in our backfield. We've invested in TE. We've got a young up and coming offensive minded head coach. The expectation should be for our redzone efficiency to improve significantly. That is not just on Bryce Young. But at the end of the day it will always begin and end with him more often than not. It's always been that way and that's just the nature of the position in this league. And not for nothing but before we drafted Bryce Young nobody was going around here saying we need elite play across the board and top shelf coaching for him to be effective. His biggest selling point was his ability to succeed off script and make something out of nothing. We're certainly going to have to see that come to fruition. Now we wait.
