Player B is Benjamin.

Right! And Player A is R1P32 of the KC Chiefs - Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Eno is also a decent athletic comp to Kamara

I have no issues taking RBs who will do what it takes to contribute. Cheap contract, important depth, and can play special teams.

 

[TheCardFan]

IMO.... a reason to NOT draft him. #

Not as rookies (no more hold outs).

 

[Zeno]

It's a 7th rounder, so doesn't bother me much.

I don't think I have see a single seventh rounder for the cards ever contribute anything.

Pat Tillman? Mark Smith?

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Go, Eno !!

 

[football karma]

Dane Brugler has him rated as a 4th rounder

Kiper absolutely loves him

Pat Tillman says hi... From his grave.

CBS Sports said this about the pick:
222. Cardinals: RB Eno Benjamin, Arizona State
Grade: A. No reason for Benjamin to still be on the board this late. Workhouse back with stellar vision, variety of jukes, and reliable hands as a receiver. Great contact balance too. Perfect fit in Arizona.

Jim Dray. Solid contributor for a while.

Benjamin said former ASU coach Todd Graham reached out to him as draft was going on to encourage him.

LaRod Stephens-Howling had his moments.

How about that season-opening kickoff return to the house against the Raiders at home? There was a contest that year - return the opening KO for a TD and win a new house. This was the first game of it - and BOOM! Some lucky bastard won a new house and the contest was quickly over! That was a wild moment at Jiffy Pop Stadium®.

Doesn’t go down easily. Always effort. Love this pick. And a bit of bias.

 

[ajcardfan]

He's a seventh round pick, so why should anyone complain? He was projected higher. I know he is a tough SOB of a competitor, we will just havee to see if he can play special teams.

 

[Zeno]

He was rated by some draft site as having the 4th best receiving hands among RBs this draft. If you are going to be an asset to this offense you better be able to catch so he has that going for him.

Has he ever been a kick returner? That’s a need area, even though returning kicks is less of an important area with the current kickoff rules.

 

[Krangodnzr]

I like Eno here. My reasoning is that he has some major flaws, but at the 7th round level, most of the players are either projects or productive guys that are a bit flawed.

You need to look at our depth. Drake (1 year deal), Edmonds (never been able to become "the guy"), and then DJ Foster who hasn't don't anything in the NFL.

Eno is going to make the squad and I wouldn't be surprised if he shows enough to eat into Edmond's carries in year 1.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Did not know he was from Texas but heard talk even here in Texas (maybe because he's a Texas boy) that he was a good prospect at running back. It might be a homer pick but one based on talent. I also have heard that it drives a defense nuts when you have short skill position players as Kyler along with another guy short in stature as Eno who are elusive surrounded by all those linemen trees... like trying to figure out which squirrel to catch in a thicket lol

He’d better.

 

[juza76]

Je runs hard and his speed game is very good despite his 4.57 at combine
His running style and the way he looks for the contact going to be dangerous for him at next level
He is better then the depth we have behind drake

 

[WildBB]

E N O E N O!

Think he's gonna surprise some people.

 

[BritCard]

Eno was definitely the best player on the board when we picked so we did the right thing.

Will be great on ST's at least this year.
