Three Reasons Why Kelvin Benjamin Makes Sense For Panthers

[jonathanlambert33]

The Carolina Panthers held their cards close to their chest for much of the pre-draft process, then went all in on a risky hand. It's one of those things that's simultaneously exhilarating and terrifying, but the more you think about the decision making behind taking Kelvin Benjamin, the more you like it.

A lot of fan bases will be doing purchase justification today. What I mean by this is finding ways to backtrack on pre-draft analysis to explain why a pick makes sense, even if they never believed in the player up to this point. It's a common move to dissuade fears, force excitement and often comes saddled with statements like "In ____ we trust." No, that phenomenon isn't unique to Panthers fans.

It's important to wade through the bullshit when trying to look at a pick objectively. Outlets will force draft grades down your throat this morning and I'll save you some time: The results aren't pretty. The terms "reach" and "raw" are thrown around like Mardi Gras beads, the grade is hovering well below a "B."

Foregoing the idea of "In Gettleman we trust," here's three reasons why Benjamin was the right pick for the Panthers.
