Who would you rather have and why? I prefer Benson. He's a tank and has much more potential than Henry at this point in his career.
JeffGollin said:Henry.
1. It saves us a draft choice and allows us to do something else with #8 (like draft Rolle, PacMan or Rogers). If we draft Benson, we have to hope that someone like Fabian Washington will be around at #44 and is a relatively risk free option as a starter. (Scary stuff).
2. We know Henry can play in the NFL. We only know that Benson played well in college. Perhaps Benson has a higher upside, but Henry has less potential downside.
3. Does a dude who refuses to work out at the Combine impress you with his overall "desire to compete" with the best RB's in his draft class?

Yes.
PIZ said:Henry:
1. He's a Buffalo Bill.
2. PROVEN NFL BACK.
3. PRO BOWL BACK.
4. Cheaper.
5. Toughest running back in the NFL.
6. The Bills get Shelton.
7. Cards have more draft options.
8. Benson could flop.

PIZ said:I know it is more exciting to draft a guy, but HENRY has proven to be a workhorse NFL back already. Benson hasn't proved a thing. If you guys get Henry, and I think you will, you are going to be shocked at how tough this guy is. When Zack Thomas was asked "who is the ONE RB that is the hardest to tackle?" he said unquestionably "Travis Henry." The guy is like a greased bowling ball.
BigDavis75 said:He plays through injuries which may be a problem, also he is in his contract year right now so if he has a great year then he will want a huge deal.

SunCardfan said:What are the statistics that a number 8 rb ever gets the stats Henry does? Probably not that good..probably less than 50%...so if you're playing the odds I'd say sign Henry, and I'd also take a chance by signing him to a longer term deal..you'd have to do that with Benson and he'll be really expensive if he pans out.
PIZ said:Exactly. And exactly why Denny Green has agreed to the swap of 2nds.
RobbleRobble said:Conflicting reports on that. My understanding was that it would most likely be a player for player deal and not involve swapping picks.
Scott MS said:Can't say that I understand where you are coming from. We don't know what we get with Henry but Benson is the sure thing? So was Thomas Jones, right?
