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.

      Are all veterinarians this greedy ?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Like a lot of things in today's economy, market concentration is a huge issue in the vet space. Mars (yeah, the chocolate company) owns roughly half of them with their control of Banfield and VCA as well as numerous smaller chains. Oh, and all that Royal Canon food the vets are prescribing and recommending? Yeah, that's owned by Mars too. Don't even get me started on the racket that is "prescription" dog food and how incredibly uneducated the average vet is on basic pet nutrition. Back to the actual clinics... private equity ghouls who care about literally nothing but profit own another 30%. Now you're down to roughly 20-25% of clinics that aren't under the thumb of Mars or private equity.

      By CRA · Posted

      like any profession, a lot of them are very greedy and balloon up bills.  My buddy is a vet.   When he was first starting out he had BIG issues with the vet he was employed with because he was expected to drive up bills.    He now owns his own practice driven by that very reason.  Good man that wants to sleep good at night....doing what he set out to do at a young age (with the same reason in mind, to help animals and people).  But per him, a HUGE % of small animal vets are just gouging the f out of people.  like most things, I want the most mom and pop variety I can find.  The bigger practice, like most businesses, it more likely is owned and operated to make as much money as possible at the end of the day.
