he general consensus is that Kelvin Benjamin was extremely impressive in his pro day work out.

Following a dominant pro-day performance in position drills, undoubtedly far more teams are willing to overlook his 4.61 time in Indianapolis.

FSU's Kelvin Benjamin might not be the fastest WR, but as Jimbo Fisher said, "You don't want to play against that guy."
“I really wish he ran, but he has such a unique skill set with his ball skills and catch radius,” one NFC scout said.

While running routes, Benjamin showcased his ability to catch the football at its highest point and make the types of catches most NFL receivers can't. On one throw toward the boundary, NFL coaches cleared as the ball’s flight plan descended toward a coaching cluster. Benjamin hauled in the pass -- easily -- and on the next throw he reached behind to catch an underthrown and off-target toss.

And for those who still question his speed?

“I can open up that stride and stride all day,” he said. “You got a guy who can run 4.3, he’s going to get tired and not keep up with the stride all day.”

Noles coach Jimbo Fisher will be terse with NFL coaches asking if Benjamin is worth a first-round payday.

"You don't want to play against him. That's the ultimate thing,” he said. “I'm telling you this: You don't want to play against that guy. He changes the game.”

Every interview I watch of Ebron just makes me dislike the guy. He's a punk and is everything but modest. The guy makes comments like he's "all world" and he's never stepped foot on an NFL field. The dude needs to be a bit more humble until he proves himself.

Put him up against Deebo in practice for two or three weeks and he would get some humbling.

Its the Offense's turn to use the 1st rounder this year. It will be a WR for sure. Only Question in my mind is will it be Benjamin or Evans. Setting aside the miracle of Watkins falling.

Outside of similar stature, I don't see how you are questioning whether we would take Evans or Benjamin. Evans is a legit top 10 talent, while Benjamin is a late 1st round talent. We'd be lucky if Evans fell to 15. Using 15 on Benjamin would be reaching if we don't trade down. Evans will be the 2nd wideout off the board, and it's possible that Benjamin could be the 5th or 6th WR in the draft (Marquis Lee is ahead of him, and Cooks and Beckham may have passed him as well).

although I agree with you, Greg Cosell has a different take:

“I would probably like Kelvin Benjamin a little more, the Florida State kid,” Cosell said. “I think he’s a little more naturally athletic and a little quicker than Mike Evans, and they’re relatively the same size.”
