Quote:Benjamin is more comparable to Alston Jeffrey in his style of play. He'll be a good possession WR who can make plays on 50/50 balls and will be a red zone threat but he's no Megatron.
I'll take 1400 yrds, 7 tds, and 16.0 yrds a catch from a possession receiver any day.
Martavis Bryant from clemson is also very similar to Benjamin another 6'5 big bodied reciever
I think we're turning toward the small shifty type WR. I don't see us going big.

Ha. Wouldn't it be funny if they drafted Bruce Ellington from S.C. ?
(BTW - The Jags ended the season with the 6'5" Stephen Williams on IR and he's under contract cheap next season )
KB goes to CAR. They need a WR bad.

Williams is a plug in. Not a long term solution. We drafted for speed last season and anticipate doing the same this year. That is how the Seahawks were built --- for speed.

Nonetheless - I don't think that they intend to go exclusively after "small, shifty" receivers as you suggested. (thought you might be kidding)
I'd anticipate someone at least 6'1" or taller to be added with hopes of playing primarily on the outside. Certainly speed will be part of the equation, yes.
Quote:Benjamin has unreal potential. He has the potential to be as good as Calvin Johnson. It isn't as laughable as some of you think.
You smoking some real good [BLEEP].
Every 6'5 guy is the next Megatron. Every 5'8 guy is the next Steve Smith. That's how it works.

Call him what you want, he's still a talented player and worth looking at.

Every QB is the next Luck.
Edit: Nevermind. Just read he's returning to college. Darn.

Someone tall for red zone purposes as well. Balance is good -- I just think we'll emphasize small speedy playmakers more then the past regime of getting tall slow dudes (Reggie WIlliams, Matt Jones, & Earnest Wilford). I liked the Pats concept of Givens, Branch, & Troy Brown. I guess having Brady helped as well. :woot:
I can see Kelvin as a top ten draft pick. He is rare in size, agility, and strength. He's not covered even when you have him covered. He has speed and a knack for creating separation.
And he makes plays like this:

He makes up for whatever drops he may have with unstoppable ability.

Since I've been posting here I don't think I'ver ever read anything from you that sounded right.

You're just angry because you have no idea what Kelvin Benjamin's talent rates.
Make this into a necklace and wear it.
If we take a QB with our first pick we should draft this guy with our second. He should still be there
I'd rather we trade back with Cleveland get their second first rounder and their second rounder and spend both first rounders on defensive players and the second rounders on a RB and OG.
But that's just me.

I don't see Cleveland giving us a second for one spot when they can get 2 for a similar price trading with the rams
I think the rams will want to trade but stay above Atlanta to get Matthews
I think our best trade options are Atlanta and Minnesota
Preferably Minnesota for their first second and 4th then take Mack or Barr whichever falls to 8
