At WR would you rather draft for......

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.

    • I had a huge response typed up for this that I lost entirely so I'm starting from scratch which is annoying but sh*t happens. I think Purdy is a high end game manager. I've made my thoughts known. I think he is talented and is at his best in the areas of timing rhythm and accuracy. When playing within the structure and scheme of that Shanahan offense and the talent around him he can be really good. Where his limitations become pronounced and more evident is when he has to go toe to toe with dynamic elite QB's. Which obviously isn't a problem just limited to him. But he's been given almost 200 million dollars guaranteed so that's an issue. I think the 49ers will struggle to get back to the mountain top with his new contract looming large and certainly they will face a very steep climb to somehow winning another championship. As far as Bryce within the pocket there have been numerous discussions here and even video circulated of him bouncing around the pocket like a pogo surveying the field or having both feet off the ground to deliver a pass. It exists even if you or someone else doesn't want it to. And I get why. But it's up to Bryce and Canales to figure out how to not only get his footwork where it needs to be and keep it there but to build a scheme around Bryce and what he does best and fit his limitations into a formidable offense. Look brother we can get into the weeds about this but I will respectfully say I do not believe you are being consistent here. You have gone out of your way as one of the key voices complaining about how striking the lack of quality talent and coaching was around Bryce Young in 2023. You've also been a key voice who has gone out of your way to sprinkle sunshine and rainbows on just about any discussion around every Panthers player and anything Panthers in general. Which is fine and can be a good thing. It's not for everyone but still more power to you. But it's jarring to see that and then you here now in what I can only describe as downplaying the talent around Bryce when it comes time to shield him from what you perceive to be unfair criticism which others such as myself would argue is not only fair for a first round pick but wholly realistic given the resources we surrendered to be able to draft him. The current FO have made an undisputed effort to build around Bryce given the aforementioned limitations created by the trade. There is never going to be a time where Bryce or any other Panthers QB is going to have elite or all pro level talent across the entire offense. But the FO has put talent around him. If you want to say that this is young and undeveloped talent in some areas that's fine but they are building around him. I'm going to be honest with you I cannot recall ever hearing this "big time throw" metric being mentioned in past conversations about Panthers QB's. I mean if Bryce or any other QB is making franchise QB or fringe elite QB  level throws we can recognize that with our own eyes. We have seen this from Bryce  which was a relief and very welcomed sight but now it's up to him to prove he can sustain that because in fairness we've seen some pretty impressive passes from past QB's who ultimately didn't pan out who were arguably more phsyically talented than Bryce. 3rd down conversion and turnover worthy plays are certainly something to hone in on. Bryce did improve in the redzone in that final stretch of games. However one key area to keep an eye on will be passing plays to the middle of the field. That's been an issue for us and Bryce both with turnovers and with bad moments from our receivers with bad drops.  We'll have to see what Dave Canales has planned for all of this within his scheme. I don't expect miracles but I do expect a competent formidable offense that is enjoyable to watch in 2025. That's the minimum expectation and I do not believe it is at all unreasonable.
    • You gotta have that attitude. Feels like a major turnaround to me!
