my question to the Huddle is who is our bigger playmaker, Benji or Greg? had statistically similar seasons last year.... and what role will Funchess play as far as top playmakers go?

Greg. Benji can make more "wow" plays but greg is way more consistent and clutch.

Olsen - 84-1008-6 (123 targets, long of 38 yards)
Benjamin 73-1008-9 (145 targets, long of 51 yards)

IMO they both fall into basically the same possession receiver mold. Olsen is by far more consistent (and actually had a better YAC average), but Benjamin is a better big-play target.

Funchess sems a bit quicker than either one, but I don't personally see him getting the same volume of targets. He could finish with 800 yards, or 400. It depends on how we shuffle him out, how many targets (if any) he takes from KB and Olsen, and how Ginn and Brown contribute.

I think if Ginn/Brown and a distant Dixon can consistently contribute the Offense is going to be dangerous. Not so much big play deep threat dangerous but consistently potent. Panthers will have a great year if that happens.

Benjamin is a more dangerous threat as a receiver in my opinion, but Olsen's blocking makes him one of the best all around players in the entire league and a more effective down for down player than KB.

Olsen's reliability puts him ahead on Benjamin at this point IMO.  But, once Benji gets it figured out and cuts back on the drops he will be our offense's most explosive weapon.  Kelvin's overall size and agility is just off the charts.  I can't wait to see these guys take the field this year, and I pray they make it there healthy (Pounds Wood!).

Don't agree with Stafford Bell and Megatron being ahead of us.

I also don't see how the trio in Dallas is either. If Murray was still in the backfield, ok... But not that trio. He even says in the article we don't know who's going to get the bulk of the carries in their backfield.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
