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 just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks. 
    • They both outstanding players and both had monster games against Jets.  We gonna need it again this week with the bills.  Go Panthers!!!!
