sigmund bloom compares Benjamin to demaryius thomas

@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.

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.

    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings. 
    • Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
