Ideal 1st Round Pick for Carolina [UPDATED]

Recommended Posts

[bump/Edit] : I want to see you guys thoughts now… this was from when we were 1-3 and we thought we could get watkins if the season didn't turn around… now that we have pick #28 what do we do

 

 

Who is the ideal pick for Carolina in the 2014 NFL draft?

 

Kelvin Benjamin (WR Florida State University, 6'5" 235lb)

 

This guy is a playmaker, has elite calvin johnson like size, and can just flat out out jump his defender and go up and make a grab.

 

I like to compare him to Vincent Jackson, He can be a poor mans Calvin Johnson, which being a poor mans Calvin is not a bad thing at all.

40 Yard Dash: Low: 4.44  40 time: 4.54  High: 4.64

Unofficial but I read somewhere he has a 35" Vertical

 

Highlights:  

 

Sports Science did a segment on his reach: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=10239292

 

                   

I believe he can be Cam's go to guy for years to come.

 

Is this the ideal pick for the Panthers? if not who is?

Watkins was MIA last year....

 

I'll take 708 yards and 3 TDs as "MIA".  The guy broke out his freshmen year and was Clemon's only threat, so he got a ton of passes his way.  Last year Hopkins arrived on the scene and took alot of his touches away.  This doesn't mean that Watkins wasn't getting open, it just meant there were 2 threats on the field.  It's obvious now that Watkins can still dominate, considering his biggest game of the year so far was against Georgia.

It wil be interesting to see if Watkins falls to us. I'm not sure he will. Those 0-6 Giants might want a elite WR if they do dump off Nicks.

I don't care who we choose as long as its an OL or WR. But, I like Watkins size and speed. I know short receivers can do well in the NFL - but still rather have taller kids.

    • This seems to be one of the least compelling college seasons I can remember. 
    • This is all fine but we knew what we had in Freddie.  Rod wouldn’t change. We could have moved  on and been in a better spot.  We had a crystal ball with his history. Zebras don’t change their strips. If we would have had an above average healthy goalie this team would have a cup but the keep kicking the can. At some point, enough is enough. 
    • I love that you have a lot of passion for the Hurricanes. I won't disagree that we should have done something with regards to getting a 3rd NHL level goalie with Freddie's injury history and something possibly happening to Koochie, but you cannot think that Tulsky or Rod have a crystal ball. We were playing really well before Pyotr got hurt.  Spencer is fine to start a game here and there, but he isn't cut out to be starting every night.  The Canes are in a tough spot now because the we are a quarter of the way through the season and NHL goalies don't grow on trees.  Gotta kind of ride it out..... Just don't throw two guys who have done a really good job under the bus for bad luck.  Tulsky made some really shrewd moves that had this team at the top of the standings before our goalie situation and Rod's coaching seemed just fine. Hold the line bro!
