1.11 Minnesota Fats - WR Kelvin Benjamin

In the real world: Benjamin is a classic boom-or-bust pick for the Carolina Panthers. He has a fantastic job situation over there because Steve Smith and Brandon LaFell are gone (Ravens and Patriots, respectively), and the only other wideout at the top of the depth chart is 31-year-old Jerricho Cotchery, who figures to be the possession receiver. But he's been known to drop passes (e.g. early on in the BCS National Championship Game). He has been compared to Plaxico Burress, who did have a string of great seasons; but also to Braylon Edwards, another big receiver who was a beast in college but who only had one season with over 1,000 yards receiving and double-digit TDs as a pro.
In the TUFF world: Benjamin is a classic boom-or-bust pick for the Minnesota Fats. They need him to succeed if they are to repeat as NFC West champs; at wide receiver, they have Megatron, a couple 49ers receivers (Boldin, Stevie Johnson), the disappointing Rueben Randle, and not much else.
