Kelvin Benjamin loves the panthers

[t96]

He sounds raw with a huge upside.....is that the general consensus? I have not followed him so I have no idea.

 

Yes very raw, has little experience but has looked to be improving and playing very well. I really believe Benjamin is the risk we NEED to take to push us over the top. If he works out and becomes a 1000 yard, 10 td guy in his first year, we'll have won our first Super Bowl people. As mentioned, his size allows us to move Smitty to the slot then we can pick up a #2 via FA (Nicks on a 1 year cheapish deal please). Defense, we keep Hardy, Cap and Mitchell then make some adjustments at corner and safety esp. in the draft, and draft a OT and then sign a FA OT. Very curious to see how this plays out with G-man.

He looks like he is 16.

Jordan Matthews is last years Kenaan Allen. We all had concrete evidence that Allen was a baller from college production, however, other WRs went above him cause they had better "measurable's." Can we please not make the same mistake with Mathews? Don't care what 40 he runs......kid is a legit baller!

Agree 100%. I was on the Allen wagon all last year when everyone wrote him off. It made me sick watching him light it up when I knew we could of nabbed him. I don't understand the heavy emphasis on 'measurables,' and how that alone can deter a decision. If a kid can ball, the kid can ball. Matthews (hopefully in the 2nd) all the way!

I've seen enough on Moncrief to want him at 28. Size, speed, and a 40 inch vertical just confirmed it

[Gin and Juice]

I personally would take Mathews at 28. Most likely he will be the best WR of this class, much like Allen was last year. I would not gamble on him being there with our 2nd pick

Did you just look at the 4.6 forty time and come to the conclusion?

Did you see how well he tested in everything else?

 

OK, I will concede that "tumble" may have been too strong of a word. Perhaps stumble is more "apropos".  What I should say is that he did nothing to justify a first round pick, and I'd be loath to pick him in the second as opposed to not only other receivers that may be available, but offensive tackles as well (haven't checked into the DBs yet).

 

it's never a good thing when the "local" paper like the Pittsburgh Gazette is saying that you failed to help your cause.

Not sure if you've watched these already but if not do it and make your own conclusion. So many of you will spend an hour reading on what these "scouts" say about these guys when you can just watch their cut-ups yourself.

I like Robinson more than most. I love his leaping ability, his agility for his size and his ability to come down with a jump ball. There's times where he has his man beat deep and the QB just misses him.

Robinson tested well in other areas, he had a 39" vert, 10'7" broad and his 11.36 in the 60 yard shuttle was one of the better times out of the WR's.

I think Robinson can become a Boldin type reciever.

Benjamin is going to be raw.  This offseason will determine a lot for him.  If he has the mind and the determination to perfect his fundamentals he will be a monster.  To me he is sort of like a Cam Newton of receivers.

[Evengelion]

he could be a poor mans Calvin Johnson or Steven Hill...

 

I am scared

I'm thinking more like Mike Williams from USC. Hill is more of a speed guy. If we had a young decent WR on this roster it wouldn't be that big of a risk.

I'm a fan.

Wouldn't mind him, he has alot of qualities you can't teach

"i just would rather play it safe and grab one of those cant miss blue chip guys with the 28th overall pick in the draft"

"i would rather take this "safe" 2nd round player because the idea of a player busting make me wet myself every night"
