@dynastyRewind doesn't like him. Didn't include him in their 2 round rookie mock (superflex). Then they got snarky about it when I called them out for it.

Trey Benson drastically improved his vision and patience year-over-year.
Demonstrated below: He gets in tight to the OL avoiding the edge pressure, and stays patient allowing the guard to seal the edge and then goes to work with his quick and explosive north and south speed.
Benson is going to be in the talk for the top back taken in the NFL draft.

The more I think about Trey Benson the more I don't like him. He never seemed to be the best player on the field. He had 6 games under 4 yards per carry. The first game of the season against a horrible LSU defense he looked bad. Against that defense he should have had 200 yards. All of this disregarding his 2020 injury. So after 3 years removed from that, for me he didn't do enough. During December of 2020, Benson suffered a catastrophic knee injury that tore his ACL, MCL, both his lateral and medial meniscus, and his gracilis tendon (hamstring).
I would rather roll the dice on someone like Bucky Irving or Audric Estime later. Some have him either the #1 or #2 RB in this class. I'm not seeing it.

Trey Benson made some BIG money at the NFL Combine
He scored a 9.78 out of 10.00 on his RAS score, ranking 40th out of 1745 RB's from 1987 to 2024.
40 time: 4.39 (97th%)
For what it's worth:
Breece Hall ran a 4.39 (5'11, 217 lbs)
Jonathan Taylor ran a 4.39 (5'10, 226 lbs)
Keep in mind:
Trey Benson played in 28 collegiate games, 0 career fumbles. TOP TIER ball security, elite 6.9 YPC as a sophomore, and very PROMISING vision.
Superb outside blocker, BIG frame, can be a legitimate 3 down back due to his size, sheer strength, and speed.
1,132 Yards, 15 TD's in 2023
I firmly believe that Trey Benson will be the 1st RB off the board in the 2024 NFL Draft.

I don't love Benson, but with Brooks injury, Corum's lack of explosiveness, and Wright's gimmicky offense, I think he could be the top RB drafted.
I see an explosive guy, who can pinball off tacklers, but has very little elusiveness. I like all the RBs I listed above more than him, but if he ends up in Dallas, he should probably be the top RB in rookie drafts.
I like him more than I liked Cam Akers, though I thought Akers should have been a day 3 pick in his class.

Huh. I don’t get either of those comps.

I hope to land him in my auction this year. They owe Connor nothing after this year, the Cardinals are well coached and there are surrounding pieces in place for Trey to have top 12 potential in 25. He’s a great add if you are willing to be patient. He’s likely the second back this year, perhaps having value as a flex, but his skill set transfers to the NFL and I like his long term valuation.

Week 4, 6, 8, whenever it begins for him, once he wins the starting job he likely is a low end RB1 the rest of the way
Could be explosive and the Cardinals lack some skill players for Murray, can easily see Benson very involved his rookie year.
Definitely on my draft radar

Not expecting much this year from Benson, as team brass seems to be very committed to Conner and you can't predict injury. But still a top notch lottery ticket IMO and definitely seems to be wheels up if Conner does get hurt, and almost certainly next year.

Conner started 13 games in '22 and '23, he's 29 yrs old, usually 180-200 attempts is his limit , plenty of room for a rookie to carve out a role
Conner is very good as a receiver, catching 80% of all balls thrown his way, RBs typically do have a high catch % but his is very good still.
-I think Benson will be more than a lottery ticket. Coaches and front office can say they are committed to Conner but that doesn't mean Benson can't earn his way into the starting gig at some point during the season.
ADP - RB32
110th pick overall PPR
9th round in redraft is pretty nice, later in 10 team leagues.

Hoping to get him at 8 in my dynasty rookie draft. I have Conner already so is a perfect fit for my team.

Can he pass block?

Well he’s athletic, has good size, and Day 2 draft capital. But he’s not much more than a lottery ticket.
Has never been a bell cow. Good burst but lacks agility. Doesn’t have vision and is impatient, does not let blocks develop. Never displayed any ability to plant and cut back, just outraced defenders to the edge. That won’t translate to Sunday.
Good traits and maybe he’ll continue to develop. Conners was highly efficient last year and is pretty solid in pass pro. Missed 4 games each of the past two seasons so we’ll probably get a chance to see Benson in a significant role at some point.
Our redraft is 18 rounds so I could see adding him as a RB5/RB6, but to my eyes he is not pro ready.

I’m just bummed the hype train cooled because I was getting bargains on Conners.
