Mahomes makes every receiver look good. You think KB won’t have a one on one down field? Where Mahomes sees him as a monster next to a 5’11 DB? If KB can win those battles, he adds an amazing dimension to our offense that’s so unlike Conley/Robinson who are productive but lesser versions of Watkins. KB could be an insane addition. Or he could be a bust and we lose nothing.
It’s amazing to me that Ragland, Erving, and Benjamin were all mocked to us in their respective drafts (as first round talent), and we’ve ultimately picked them all up for nothing. Those were some excellent misses (thanks, Dorsey) in the draft. [Reply]

You know what, I wasn't excited until I read this.

Realistically Benjamin doesn't win a ton of battles. But throw a good ball to him covered and he can find a way to get to it. And I think he's going to be a problem for defenses underneath the coverage which is ripe for the picking. [Reply]
I think he's an interesting toy for Andy to find some match-up advantages with. Imagine him and Kelce working the seams while Hill and Watkins fly downfield. [Reply]
Just spoke to Kelvin Benjamin who told me he expects to play Thursday. He’s been learning the language of the offense since he was signed last week, and OC Eric Bienemy says it’ll be “all hands on deck.”
I see Benjamin as a twin to Demetrius Harris. Physical beast that can make a play here and there but will also drop important catches at the worst times.
I hope Im wrong, I would love to have another reliable weapon. [Reply]
