We're gonna draft a receiver.


It's just a matter of which round.

Now, look at the CBSsport mock drafts:

Pat Kirwin has us drafting Kelvin Benjamin at 27 (he has Cooks going to the Eagles at 22 and OBJ at 26 to Cleveland).

What's the board's opinion on that? I think I would be OK with Benjamin there. We can get a good safety (the original topic of this thread...) in rounds 2 or 3, or maybe getting a guy like Attaochu in the second round to play OLB.

I'm not super into getting a receiver in the first, but I wouldn't be opposed to it.
I'd rather get a linebacker.

But it'll be value-based regardless.

I'm cool with it. Benjamin is a big bodied receiver who will immediately impact the offensively in the redzone & against press coverage. He would also bring the aspect being able to win downfield by being able to use his height & leaping ability to high point passes which is something the current receiving corp is lacking. He could force teams to have to double or bracket him, depending on how effective he becomes in the offense which in return would open up areas of the field for other receivers. He also played in a system at Florida State that spread the ball around just as much as the Saints do. So that means he understands the importance of running his routes full go even when the ball isn't coming in his direction.
