Round 1 - Carolina Panthers select WR Kelvin Benjamin FSU

[pantherclaw]

I honestly wanted Evans, which wasn't realistic.

KB was the only other receiver in the draft in the same.mold as Evans, with a higher ceiling honestly.

Love it.

Cam has better receiving options than he did last year, and this is just the beginning of the draft.

Cam Newton

Luke Kuechly
Star Lotulelei

Kelvin Benjamin

 

Is this real life? Pinch me. I'm dreaming!

[AubPanther]

I think Adams, Robinson and Matthews are gone by 60. Moncrief at 60?!?!?

Would love to get Moncrief but we need to address OT at some point

[fieryprophet]

If he blows up, his nickname is Lord Kelvin!

I'm just getting greedy now!

[Shadow]

um nobody is going to press him. hog mollie, beast.

 

It's like he used the Madden truck stick on that noob

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Wouldn't mind taking OT in 2 and the fastest tallest receiver available in the 3rd. Paul Richardson? Moncrief? 

[Rags]

I can see us possibly getting Robinson or Moncrief at 60

Damn, when Gman said we were going to get hogmollies I didn't realize he meant at WR too.

I like it. We are going to be physical non both sides of the ball!!

I trust Gettleman on this, it wouldn't surprise me if Benjamin was their target from the beginning of the process and Getts laid one hell of a smokescreen. I've never had a problem with Benjamin, happy we didn't take Cyrus, Roby or Lee. Sadly my board was shot to pieces and nobody really fell to us so Benjamin really was the BPA.

[L-TownCat]

Gettleman was as excited to get KB as he was Star. That makes me excited. You should be too.

[Rags]

But I agree, we need to go OT eventually.

 

but damn could you imagine

Gettleman: "Like last year, value met need." #Panthers loved Benjamin's football instincts.

Gettleman says that Benjamin makes catches when pressured, something difficult to teach.

Gettleman on Benjamin pick: "I'm sure that Cam's not mad at me now.:

Gettleman doesn't feel like the NFL will be too big for Benjamin, who was highest player left on Panthers board.
