what makes you say that might i ask?

 

 

FreeFua posted what Gettleman said about rookie receivers. Benjamin hits all the points AGAINST drafting him especially in the 1st round. Let's see- Benjamin can maybe run three routes at this point in his career, incredibly raw and a project, and will definitely have a big adjustment to the NFL. 

 

 

I will bet anyone right now that we won't take Benjamin in the first, it is not a Gettleman type pick. 

 

 

 

Q. What’s your philosophy on potential No. 1 receivers? They can be found in the draft or free agency, so what do you tend to lean toward?

A. The draft history will tell you that it’s a tough position to make an immediate impact. In general, the 20-hour rule has really affected the player that we get. Back in the day, and I know you young guys are tired of hearing that, but when there basically were no rules, these kids for the most part came fundamentally sound. And that’s not happening now.

There was a wide receiver that got taken in the first round a few years back, he ran three routes in college. And didn’t adjust to coverage. He ran to three spots. So just think about what you have to teach that guy. So that’s kind of the thing that, depending upon where he went, he was in the spread offense. Another receiver who was taken in the first round that year, a different college, spread offense, he ran the whole route tree. It depends upon what program the kid came out of.

I don’t know if wide receiver has had a tougher time, but history will tell you the adjustment isn’t easy.

Because the way the league is, the quicker you get your young kids to play, the better you’re going to be. So we’ve got to figure out how quickly this guy’s going to be able to play.
