Hey all, didnt see a thread on this. What do you think?
Jonathon Brooks CAR 20 6'0" 216 2.14 (CAR)
Trey Benson ARI 21 6'0" 216 3.02 (ARI)
These guys are pretty close in my mind. Is the draft capital difference that much? Who would you take in a vacuum?

Re: Brooks vs Benson: '24 Rookie RBs
If I were taking them in startups I would take Brooks about one round sooner than Benson.
Rookie pick wise 1QB I like Brooks in the mid 1st and Benson late 1st

Re: Brooks vs Benson: '24 Rookie RBs
I’d take Brooks. But I don’t understand why Benson is valued so low. Seems like with his draft capital and good landing spot he’d be getting a little more love.

Re: Brooks vs Benson: '24 Rookie RBs
What do you dislike on Benson vs Brooks? seems like both catch the ball well and are quick. Brooks seems to glide through the field while Benson looks a little more physical.ThunderTung wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 11:59 pm I'll take Brooks every single time.

I've only watched a few games of tape from each. I guess draft capital means alot, but we know Connor won't last on Arizona for more than a season

Re: Brooks vs Benson: '24 Rookie RBs
Benson for me, better team, more explosive player. Not in a vacuum, my response, but Brooks is post ACL, likely not 100 percent until next year, and Benson is a sub 4.4 player that has a QB that will keep the edge players honest. Benson has such a great opportunity in this offense.

Re: Brooks vs Benson: '24 Rookie RBs
I just don't love Benson much as a prospect, don't like the way he runs much. Feels very upright to me. idk it's kind of hard to explain. its the eye test for me and Benson just doesn't pass it. Brooks to me looks like he has it same with Lloyd who I wish didn't have Jacobs in front of him but that's another topic entirely. I think they both got good landing spots, I just don't love Benson the player.cookiecrisp13 wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 1:02 pmWhat do you dislike on Benson vs Brooks? seems like both catch the ball well and are quick.

Re: Brooks vs Benson: '24 Rookie RBs
I ended up taking Brooks 1.04 and Benson 1.12 in my rookie draft. (Also took Odunze 1.03). I debated on Bowers and Worthy, but went with Brooks at 1.04.

Re: Brooks vs Benson: '24 Rookie RBs
I feel better now after seeing this. Thought I was on an island for liking Benson a little more than Brooks. I like Brooks vision and some other traits, but I can't get past the recent ACL, average speed and abysmal landing spot. Feels like drafting Javonte Williams after his ACLSriracha wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 8:16 pm^FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 6:18 pm Benson for me, better team, more explosive player.
