[top dawg]

i forget, how'd the 49ers get our 7th?

 

Colin Jones

[Jakob]

Yeah.. we don't have a 7th guys...

[philp]

oh yeah!  thanks!

[TheRed]

they just now changed our 5th to Minnesota on ESPN but we are still listed at 10 in the 7th

 

I'm on cbssports, we only have a 6th now.

[philp]

Yeah.. we don't have a 7th guys...

 

so what, Colin Jones is worth a 7th.  And we're getting Captain's replacement with Beason's 7th.  All is good.

[top dawg]

Well, it's not a big loss anyway. 

[TheRumGone]

Yeah what did jimbo say about kb

Well, I guess Colin Jones was worth a 7th. 

 

You know you really can't look at it that way.

[teeray]

I'm glad we traded our 7th.  Means I won't have to watch this boring ass poo anymore.

 

I know, I know "then don't watch it at all teeray"

 

I can't help it.  Got to watch.  Like a drug that I know is bad for me, but can't stay away

I know. I've been in it this long, so I might as well finish it out.  I'll be there until pick 204 anyway.  My son left out the room 40 minutes ago. He told me to call him when we pick our next scrub, and that he didn't need to watch everybody else's scrubs get drafted.

[philp]

if they think he's worth our 5th and beason's 7th, so be it.  regardless, we needed a nickel.

I live on the west coast so I don't see too many other panther fans..but when I got on this forum I haven't seen so many cry baby fairweather fans in my life.

Welcome to Carolinahuddle! Sooooo glad to have you here. We can always use another jerk on the board. You'll fit right in.

 

  Bene Benwikere STRENGTHS  Good size. Excellent ball skills -- plays the ball in the air like a receiver. Competes in the air, can highpoint the ball and snag INTs with his hands. Quick to read run and pass. Has special-teams experience, including as a gunner and jammer. Good football intelligence. Demonstrated secondary versatility -- has played corner, safety and nickel back. WEAKNESSES  Underdeveloped in the weight room. Lacks elite top-end speed. Struggled matching with the vertical speed of Stanford WR Ty Montgomery and much of production has come against lesser competition. Can shore up his tackling. BOTTOM LINE

Smooth, productive nickel corner more proficent vs. the pass than run. Benwikere's game lacks physicality, yet his zone cover skills could allow him to carve a role in the slot and on special teams. Needs to be challenged to maximize his potential and would benefit from a demanding positional coach.

 

If they traded up (not that a 7th  means anything) to get him then they like his prospects. Good enough for me in the 5th round.

I don't know what to say about this pick. Is he good? Can he develop into a starter or always a backup?
