sigmund bloom compares Benjamin to demaryius thomas

@SigmundBloom Kelvin Benjamin will be younger on draft day than Roddy White and Javon Walker were when they were drafted. Not really bothered by his age.

@SigmundBloomAnother player in the Kelvin

Benjamin mold (ie tolerate drops/lapses because big plays) is Demaryius Thomas

I love the comparison because it signifies exactly the risk reward package you get with kb. I think this is his ceiling imo.

The Combine, pro days, team workouts, and ultimately if he's there at 28 and we pick him will tell the story..for us in reference to our guys anyway.

 

If the pros really believe that he can be on the level of Thomas, then he may be gone. Of course if you have some other guys that put you in the mind of other players, then there's that dynamic as well (e.g., Brandin Cooks and Smitty).  Sure there is only one 89, but if people believe that Brandin Cooks can be anywhere in the vicinity of a young 89, then the decisions get a bit tougher.  

 

Lastly, I don't believe that Benjamin has the speed of DT, which kind of throws a monkey wrench in the comparison.

I read the comparison and I don't see it. If Benjamin is anybody, he's Roddy White. Putting up with dropped passes and mental lapses for explosive plays is something Mike Wallace and Dez Bryant are known for too.

 

Not really Dez, maybe early in his career. But at this point he doesn't really drop passes or have mental lapses. 

 

I think we really need a big play receiver and a good redzone target. Benjamin is the best available, and if he's there at 28 I say we gotta take him.

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
