You can say the same thing about Harrison jr and Udunze. Neither ran past guys. I think Coleman has the traits to develop his route running. That happens he can have a very good career. His route running is behind both as it sits. Coleman was still playing basketball as recent as 2021-2022 basketball season. That lends to why his technique is below that of the top guys in the class.
-
I think Coleman a is better athlete. I think Coleman can play a similar game. Also, adds more in a jump ball sort of way. Imo his #1 is work on his footwork and sky is the limit. Get him with Shakir and Moulds yesterday.
-
PFF has been mentioning a new metric that is proprietary called GAS? A cumulative speed and explosion score taking game GPS scores. Coleman is high on that list supposably. Davis is an all around back that walks in for the Murray role and very well become the primary back up too.
-
2 time National Champion captain. If Mcgovern at center is a little shaky he move back to LG. Hard to get better value than that.

I think at the end of day Buffalo did the work on all the wrs. Met with Franklin pretty much every step of the process. Buffalo brass and Allen went with Coleman. You can look at the positive of the pick or the neg that probably comes down to how you fan. His RAS score is over 9. Before Travis got hurt he was routinely projected as a top 10 pick. I think we are at the point to get behind the kid and see if he can meet his potential. Allen couldnt improve his 58% completion too. Rappaport said unofficial he ran 4.53 after the combine for scouts. Idk if pro day or private work out. Beane said their data showed 4.5 not 4.6. Moulds and Bryant are some positive comps. Both big wrs with return ability in college. That is what Buffalo is projecting him to be.
-
Correct. If him and Allen can get a feel for the back shoulder lights out imo.
-
They are doing what should have been done after 21 or 22. I think they were too emotional and drained with the Hamlin stuff to make the decision. Buffalo was old. All the vets moved were older and the team needed a new approach. The guys that led the way down the stretch and the playoffs are who is being positioned around. The offensives most efficient and productive players were Kincaid, Shakir and Cook by a significant margin. The best players on defense last year are still here too.
-
Maybe. My point is they had 2 holes. Position priority aside, Poyer and Hyde were the linch pin in of the defense. Now gone, Mcdermott wanted some of what he lost. Will he? Idk. Buffalo sure feels like he is a valuable player for them. Godd size and speed. Mcdermott thinks he has the goods for the spot. Many here flamed Benard in the 3rd and that has turned out great. Coleman was their top pick and the guy they take at 28. Figured out the guys moving up wanted a different player. Still got their guy and added a 3rd. I dont understand how they undervalue Wr over safety. You would need to explain that. I dont see that being the case.
-
Coleman and Bishop likely start. Those where the largest holes on the team in terms of numbers lost and who they lost. They were diligent looking at each position to find their guy. Coleman was who they wanted over Worthy, Pearsall, Legette and every wr picked after. Bishop was who they wanted at safety. The excitement in the room is evident. Both plus athletes and 21 years old come September. Hard to argue with either guy looking at what they were looking for. Bother Carter and Davis are going to be in the rotation and get meaningful snaps week 1. Carter could be the future 1tech but will be the immediate back up at 3 tech. Davis is a short yardage goal line plus back. He will do that role immediately and probably be the primary back up to Cook week 1 aswell. That good impact from the 3rd and 4th rounds. Hard to argue with the draft class as a hole. Guys clamoring for player x over who was drafted is a product of getting too attached to players you have never met imo. Needing young depth to push the older depth was accomplished at many levels. Every player you can see the plan and path to how they make it. Hard to say for many drafts.
-
He doest have that extra gear some possess. For what he loses in linear speed he makes up with in size and movement ability. His ability with the ball in his hands is that of a smaller Wr. I think that lends well to developing and polishing his route running ability. More I look into him I can get behind it. Instead of harping on why I liked someone else Im looking at why he can be successful. Pre draft I used his 40 as a reason why you dont take him at 28. They move to 33 not much difference but adding a 3rd and getting a DT that could become a 1T is big. Compared to everyone else in the range I can see why Buffalo liked him more. His age and athleticism are very high. If developed could be a number 1. Outside of the top 3 not many in the class have that upside.
-
I give Mcdermott all the credit in the doubt with this pick. Seems like the guy he wanted at safety. Seems like the same way he wanted Bernard 2 years ago.
-
I think this was Coleman v Mitchell. Both young with size similar production. They went with the human Coleman. They work hard on both and and like Coleman. He comes off as a star at his presser. I was not a Coleman. More I look into it more I like it. Brady comes from the Payton system. Made Colston and Thomas into monsters. I see Coleman doing some of that. I think his fluidity translates into becoming a polished route runner too. He does that he could be the total package at wr.
-
Shakir and Kincaid were the top 2 pass catchers last year down the stretch and playoffs. I think Coleman gives the offense more than Davis. Samuel a good compliment to what the offense has. Top 5 targets are going to 1. Kincaid 2. Shakir 3. Coleman 4. Samuel 5. Cook. You have Knox Hollins and what ever player makes the roster at wr 5 and 6. Fighting for scraps. Offense will be fine. Probably more efficient.
-
Coleman, Samuel, Shakir are the starters. Hollins, Shorter and Shavers compete for the outside spots. Isabella, Hamler and Cepheus compete for the inside spots. I could see a move in the summer for another if no one steps up. Not a terrible room when adding in Kincaid and Knox at Te and Cook out of the backfield.

New Bill - former Lion Quintez Cephus signed (Update: Now released)

What team has a an all pro at Wr 4-6? Hollins is a NFL wr. Thats 4. Shorter, Shaver, Hamler, and Isabella fighting for the final spot. Not terrible. -
Rd 6, Pick 219: CB Daequan Hardy, Penn State
Mat68 replied to section122's topic in The Stadium Wall
Back up nickel/ return man. I think many wanted a wr/return man but not much behind Johnson. A late day 3 pick with a path to the 53 is hard to argue with. -

Carter is likley starting in 25 and is playing 50% of the snaps this season. Franklin would be bottom of the wr room and is not contributing any way on special teams. If they want a deep threat. Sign DJ Chark. -

By not drafting another wr could have a path for highest UDFA. Beane has been methodical with filling needs. Coleman, Bishop, Carter, Davis are all playing as rookies. The rest all have a shot to play. Not as flashy as some wanted but 2 day 1 starters, 2 guys day one play meaningful snaps on offense and defense is a good draft. -
Maybe Hamler has juice left. Hurt and never able to create a role in Denver. At this point does a wr drafted in rd 6 beat out Hamler, Isabella or Shorter? Assume the pecking order is Samuel, Shakir, Coleman, Hollins than those 3.

At this point they need to have return ability or willingness to play special teams. -
