sigmund bloom compares Benjamin to demaryius thomas

[micnificent28]

@SigmundBloom Kelvin Benjamin will be younger on draft day than Roddy White and Javon Walker were when they were drafted. Not really bothered by his age.

@SigmundBloomAnother player in the Kelvin

Benjamin mold (ie tolerate drops/lapses because big plays) is Demaryius Thomas

I love the comparison because it signifies exactly the risk reward package you get with kb. I think this is his ceiling imo.

The Combine, pro days, team workouts, and ultimately if he's there at 28 and we pick him will tell the story..for us in reference to our guys anyway.

 

If the pros really believe that he can be on the level of Thomas, then he may be gone. Of course if you have some other guys that put you in the mind of other players, then there's that dynamic as well (e.g., Brandin Cooks and Smitty).  Sure there is only one 89, but if people believe that Brandin Cooks can be anywhere in the vicinity of a young 89, then the decisions get a bit tougher.  

 

Lastly, I don't believe that Benjamin has the speed of DT, which kind of throws a monkey wrench in the comparison.

And who is Sigmund Bloom?

Let's see, I think NFL.com compared Melvin White to Richard Sherman; every short fast receiver has been compared to Steve Smith at some point; Cam Newton = Vince Young...let's try not to read too much into these pointless random pre-draft comparisons.

I always thought cam was more like Steve McNair then Vince young. And I really don't get the DT KB comparison.

Sorry, but Thomas ran a 4.39 in the 40. Benjamin isn't that fast. He'll likely run a 4.5.

He provided the context of the comparison and you ignored it.

This guy is a great resource, obviously well qualified...

I always thought of Cam as being more like Cam. I don't think he really has someone to be compared to. Fran Tarkenton?

I read the comparison and I don't see it. If Benjamin is anybody, he's Roddy White. Putting up with dropped passes and mental lapses for explosive plays is something Mike Wallace and Dez Bryant are known for too.

 

Not really Dez, maybe early in his career. But at this point he doesn't really drop passes or have mental lapses. 

 

I think we really need a big play receiver and a good redzone target. Benjamin is the best available, and if he's there at 28 I say we gotta take him.

The latest SBNation mock has us taking Benjamin, following 4 other WR's.
