It isn’t his 40 time. It’s ability to get open that is questionable.

Yes I have watched all the games I could find. Cooper Kupp is a route runner. Coleman is not - but he is young and maybe he can learn.

He can do everything - except get open. He is Gabe Davis with better hands and worse speed. Hopefully, he can really learn to run routes to get open. The big concern I have is the league is going speed, speed, speed and Bills grabbed basically a 3rd TE. He is a very dominant blocker, though!

Who love’s Coleman?

I think they can get Franklin at 60, if they want him. That would be both receivers that I hoped they would not draft.

Who loves the pick? I heard “polite applause “.

Mathew Bove is an expert?

That was a Looong time ago when defenses could maul receivers. Rules are different now.

Cupp can run routes and get open.

Coaches don’t make you faster or quicker.

I understand and I’ll be the first to admit I am not qualified to critique their picks, but I can watch games and see that he is almost never open.

If you want a back to the basket post player, Coleman is the man.

Several here have watched a lot more than highlights and he can’t get open.

This really is inexplicable. They said they wanted explosive players with RAC and they took a guy who can’t get open and can’t run away from anyone. For context, Chop Robinson (DE) is considerably faster.

Exceptionally disappointing.

Trade down please.

For what? He is worth more to the Bills as raw hope that he improves than he is in trade.

Well, of course I’ll hope he is great if they take him - I just don’t see the upside.

The young age is a plus, I just don’t know how he gets any quicker than he is.

It’s not 40 time, it’s getting open and Coleman doesn’t do that.

Bolden played when DBs were allowed to rough up WR. I don’t think big guys like that are as valuable now with rules changes.

Ok - I admit that I was just arguing that how a guy is rated coming out of HS is irrelevant. I still am not enamored by Franklin. I think if you look at recent analyst lists, they have dropped Franklin a lot from where he was 2 months ago - same for Coleman. I think that’s because they have heard from teams that they don’t value them that highly. I, of course, don’t know what they will do and I watch game tape, highlights and read voraciously, but that doesn’t make me qualified!

Could probably trade from 33 down to 45 and still take Coleman.

I have and he is never open.

Yes, hopefully they learned that big slow receivers don’t make it in the NFL.
