Wow. I'm more afraid of Coleman than Leggette but want Ladd more than both. I'd smile ear to ear if got Mitchell at 33 and McConkey at 39. Bout the only combo I'd take with the other huge holes.

I want a WR double dip.  I'm fine if that a 2nd and then the 3rd.  

Mitchell and Ladd are probably my favorites at 33.  There was a time I thought Leggette could be there at the top of the 3rd but I think the combine killed that dream.

Thank you. 

I hate to do this because it is totally unfair to Coleman, but the Benjamin comparisons in my head scare me.  

About Legette- these weaknesses listed on the NFL.com site scare me to death because everyone one of them are things you have to do as a WR in the NFL:

  • Can win the catch phase, but the release and route phases lack polish.  (will never be an X if he can't release-will struggle to get open if he can't run routes)
  • Tennessee’s tight press-man coverage was all over him for much of the game.  (This makes sense considering the other issues--translation--runs a 4.39 40 but plays like he runs a 4.93 40)
  • Rushes through route design rather than selling it to the cornerbacks.  (does not understand timing?)
  • Below-average quickness getting in and out of his breaks.  getting out of breaks creates separation.  Benjamin and Funchess?  Legette has straight line speed but not quickness--that is HUGE)
  • Hits cruise control and waits for jump balls rather than keeping foot on the gas.  (not sure what he is trying to say, but could he mean that he is not a dawg?)

 

I am a Gamecock fan, but I fear he is a "one hit wonder" and a "workout warrior" rolled into one big "ball of bust" (made that last one up myself)

Benjamin snowed Gettle...easy to do once you get money tho....I see the concern.

Benjamin was actually pretty good until he got hurt. Then his mom died and he became a head case.

Says the guy with the "!?" In the thread title, indicating that you're taking it seriously to some degree or another.

The best part about the draft is that all of the pre-draft nonsense (media, fans, and random podcasters alike) stops.

?! Means wtf, champ. Sorry if i hurt your heart. Maybe next time, I dunno, don't open the thread.

He was destroying everyone and was in great shape before he did his knee in training camp 

KB was always very TEish though.  I mean, Greg Olsen was more dangerous after the catch.  And that's wasn't reallly Greg's thing.

Yeah, he was a tough customer to try and handle, and even better corners had their work cut out for them. There would be no cakewalks facing Kelvin Benjamin.  He was genuinely big and strong.

He was a boom-then-bust receiver.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
