Round 1 - Carolina Panthers select WR Kelvin Benjamin FSU

[frash.exe]

I wanted a DT in 2013, Gettleman got me two. (And they beat that ass in 2013)

I wanted a WR in 2014, Gettleman gets me one

Gettleman delivers

Benjamin said he's been a fan of the Panthers ever since Cam Newton came to Charlotte. He plays with the Panthers in Madden

Benjamin: "I have a lot of improving to do. I have a lot to learn."

"I'm a real humble guy, not a red-carpet type of guy," Benjamin says of decision not to attend draft.

 

 

We've drafted a bunch of those guys recently.

This will be interesting because we're gonna be moving into the era where Cam is more of a vet and players like KB will look up to him. Cam's work ethic and drive should help guys like KB even more than normal and hopefully can help KB reach his ceiling. Very excited to see these guys grow together.

Benjamin says his biggest strength is being a very big, physical receiver. He's a game changer.

Thank you football gods

Cautious optimism, how I felt when cam was picked

Dwayne Jarrett v2.0. Can't get off blocks and drops too many passes. If he can't catch noodle arm Jameis Winston passes what makes you think he can snag Cams?

It worries me that Cam Newton is a better athlete than Kelvin Benjamin in literally every category per combine measurements, but if Ricky Proehl says Benjamin is the guy then that's good enough for me!  I honestly think we end up using him like the Saints use Jimmy Graham.  Call him a TE, call him a WR, call him whatever you want.  Just go catch balls and make plays.

 

Cam Newton is a better athlete than almost anybody in the NFL right now..

Excellent pick for us, he'll help Cam out tremendously...
