5th Round - Carolina trades up, selects CB Bene Benwikere in the 5th round.

Don't worry WR are usually dumb. With the exception of Largent of course.

Just a joke.

I actually laughed out loud reading that.

I am not big on wonderlicjs to evaluate players. But a 7 is pretty bad. That is Dan Marino dumb right there. Lol

[GamecockSmitty4]

You can tell Benjamin isn't the smartest guy by listening to him talk. Luckily, we didn't bring him here to play chess, we brought him here to catch the football.

According to some reports, Benjamin was held back twice in elementary and junior high, so that wonderlic score isn't a shocker.  That being said, those tests are meh anyway.  Even if Benjamin isn't the brightest on paper, the kid seems to have loads of football smarts.  As long as he keeps his nose clean, works hard and does his thing on the field, he could score a 1 on the wonderlic for all I care.

Completely agree

Wow, we actually used that bullshit test as a measuring stick? The Wonderlic test can be abused. My friend, a computer science major, always had bad anxiety on these tests and scored awful. At one point he admitted his IQ scored in the low 80's when he was a sixth grader... yet he always did exceptional in class.

Did not say that we used them at all. They give the rest to all athletes at the combine.

The fact that we drafted KB with a 7 proves that we gave it no value.

[FattyFatFat]

Just watched some of his highlights. Made some athletic plays on the ball. Good special teamer. Looks faster than 4.6

Well Gamble scored a 6.  He was smart enough to get a big ass contract from Hurney.  But then again, who didn't.

My concern about Benjamin is that Wonderlics can say something about maturity sometimes. I hope he doesn't become another Jarrett. I really want this dude to ball out here.

Yup good ball skills and excels in zone defense. Smart, instinctive player.

I don't see a correlation between maturity and the wonderlic.

[FuFuLamePoo]

Yeah this is easily my favorite pick we made today

Only on the Huddle.
