He is a little taller than Captain.

Looks like this thread is the general draft thread now.  How did that happen?  LOL

[carolina-chuck]

Love it!!!!!!!

Prefect nickle corner.

Bene is a sleeper.

[micnificent28]

Dave made it clear he doesn't care much for offense.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

That's got to be some of the most epic music to a sort of meh highlight reel lol

From NFL.com

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.

Needs a demanding positional coach? Meet Steve Wilks.

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

 

In our system, he could be a tremendous slot corner with the ability to move outside if he is needed to.

[Jackofalltrades]

It's very clear that Gettleman prefers fundamentals and skill to speed and athleticism. Benwikere is known for his ball and coverage skills, not his physical ability

Benjamin pick says otherwise.

Like someone else alluded to: Riverboat Ron is cashing in some chips.

 

 

I must say that I'm not enthused with our lack of offensive picks, but perhaps the FO has more faith in McNutt and King than we know.

[TN05]

Guess we won't be getting a decent tackle.

[PhillyB]

I'm sitting here literally shaking in rage as I watch the Hurst highlights that collegefootballbeasthighlight69 put together and I'm trying to think of a single reason not to stick this gun in my mouth that we havent drafted him oh god I wanted him so bad I set my heart on 1 guy out of the 3000 available in the 5th round and we didn't draft him I just vomited out of rage that's it I'm pulling the trigger.

can you just guest post all my responses from now on

[Montsta]

Maybe he can be our new Captain Munnerlyn, but regular person height.

[DecrypticShadow]

What a train wreck.....

 

elaborate?
