Chargers extend Benjamin

[like54ninjas]

I thought we drafted him.

We did. Dylan was a 6th round pick last year.

You think we can get a 4th for a 6th who was injured and didn't play a snap?
That is good GMing Fleet.
:rasta:

I was sort of banking on his former coach wanting him badly. He was really high on him in the podcast i heard after we drafted him. And he didnt view him as just a WR. Its a dangle. Ask for a 4 take a 5. A guy like that could have a big role in that offense for Kingsbury. And he knows it already. Blocking WRs with speed are hard to come by. I think thats one of the reasons we drafted him and were also interested in Garcon. Garcon is an amazing blocking WR.

I agree but all the more reason for us to keep.
I saw us converting/using him as a H-Back/TE/WR because of his size, speed, ability to high point-contested catches, and his blocking physicality.
Think it was the 16 season, Baylor game?, where he blocked a Safety through the back of the EZ. It was as close the "Blindside" scene as possible. Lol

Thats basically what i said about him as well after we drafted him. Kliff confirmed it. I think my initial remarks about trading him were more tongue in cheek than anything. lol Im not all that serious thee days.

He may be the best pure athlete on the team. I forgot the QB that came out years ago that they turned into a WR. I think he was a jaguar or panther. Reminds me a little of that guy from an athletic pov.

Matt Jones?

[beachcomber]

Scratch wr from the draftee lists.

says the man w/an Oline p!an....

ps. this season is looking more 'n more like a "push" ??

Yep. Arkansas kid I think. Never lived up to the high pick he was.
Dylan as a 6th should significantly outplay his draft position.

Hope so. I was pretty happy with the pick. His downfield blocking is insane. Yeah Jones was the QB at Arkansas. Put up huge combine numbers. Drafted on pure athletics. I know Cantrell is a solid WR prospect...but its his freaky athleticism that reminds me of Jones. White guy...athletic....just my natural response i guess. lol

Oh, ok...still, why would they give up a 4th? Nitnid take it and run.

Dylan Cantrell is up for trade for. 4th in the group mock draft lol.

Like i said...Kliff his former coach said he was invaluable. And a steal where we got him. The worst they can do is say no? lol

[Gwynning_Spirit]

Seems more of a restructure than an extension. I was just reading he'll gget his signing bonus and most guarantees this year. Most of the base is next year.. so this is probably his last year as a Bolt.

Looks like we're rolling the dice with the WRs we have. Honestly, if Scott comes back healthy and in the form he was showing before the season.. and Henry is healthy. It's probably not a bad call .

That was my take on it too.

Maybe they will come calling TT. I'd do it.

[FoutsFan]

It's a weak WR draft class anyway

That catch at KC was classic

im ready to roll with Benji

True that.

I have always been a bit of a TB fan. I like the speed he brings to the field. He is fast like the kid/woman beater in KC but TB is not as laterally quick. You are correct about the catch in KC, two of them on the same drive. Without him we do not win in KC. I just wish he was not so scared of contact.
