NFL Films' Greg Cosell prefers Florida State WR Kelvin Benjamin to Texas A&M's Mike Evans.

"I thought that he had a little more natural quickness and athleticism than Evans," Cosell said. "I thought that Benjamin brought a lot of the same attributes to the table as Evans, but I thought he was just a little more athletic." Cosell believes Benjamin runs faster than his 40 time. "You want to see a burst when the ball is in the air," Cosell said, mentioning Jerry Rice as one example of a WR who ran a 4.6-second 40-yard dash in shorts but appeared far faster once donned in pads. Benjamin is massive, and his speed might sneak up on NFL DBs. Rotoworld's Josh Norris, for the record, likes Evans significantly more than Benjamin (No. 11 overall compared to No. 32). Feb 14 - 12:57 PM

OK. Cosell isn't really saying anything too concrete, or with authority. meh.

Benjamin is a lot more risky, but I agree with Cosell that he does have that sneaky speed. That in combo with his size is what makes me want us to draft him at 28. Smitty and Proehl can work on routes with him and help him improve and discipline him. That size and speed combo is rare in the NFL. I just wish we could get a guy like Megatron who's that size and runs a 4.34 40 or whatever Johnson ran.

Speed is great, but you have to catch the ball. 

 

I really like great hands, and there are a few WRs in this draft who have them.

 

The LSU boys are real good, Abbrederis drops nothing, etc.  I almost prefer the sure hands over anything else.

I would be fine with Benjamin at 28, they could work on his route running with proehl and other veteran receivers. The hands are what troubles me

[micnificent28]

Truth is his hands aren't that bad. He makes spectacular catches on the regular but, he will drop an easy one if he's not tuned in 24/7. I think he will impress at the combine with his athletic ability and will catch fairly well in drills.

LaFell is annually near the top of the division in fewest drops. You can't get by on hands alone. If you're not a playmaker your hands don't matter.

really? To me it seems like Lafell drops more balls than puberty. In important situations at least.

Then you would be wrong.

LaFell is not a great playmaker, but stats say he really does drop very few balls. Hoes to show how biases can affect our view if things...not bashing you, just using it as a general example.

[rayzor]

he's one of about 10-15 receivers/TEs i would like in the first 2-3 rounds.give me any of them. i won't be picky.

[2jakefansinva]

recievers that can catch for 200 Alex........

[Jackofalltrades]

Too bad we won't have a chance to draft him.

[Evengelion]

I wouldn't mind a sure-handed possession type guy who can pluck anything in.

[Carolina Husker]

I would too.
