Here is where this argument becomes relevant. I have seen a lot of people question Odell Beckham's viability as a pick due to his low bench reps (7). I have seen this used to compare Odell to A.J. Yes this is something he will have to improve on, but my point is that the mental makeup of the player is far more important. Instead of getting hung up on the bench we should make sure the guy is a competitor. As Trent has said he's looking for a guy with swagger. I have not heard anything saying Odell and I'll throw Brandin Cooks in here as well are anything but competitors. I think we should be fairly optimistic should we draft one of these guys and not necessarily expect history to repeat itself.
Sorry guys, I didn't expect this to get so wordy. I was trying to prove my case. If you took the time to read it thanks I hope you enjoyed.
Hey Mods, if I posted this in the wrong forum please move it, the subject matter seemed to potentially be relevant to both Niner Talk and Draft War Room so I wasn't sure. Thanks
