If your double dipping wr I think you do it here. Needs are pretty covered. Think Rice and Washington wont make to the 3rd 5th pick.

Half right

Lol this board will melt

Buffalo on the clock. Edge or wide reciever?

I see it. Not flashy but a good player. He will be a solid back. Pairs well with Cook. Better bigger body backs in the class.

Very good compliment to Cook. Imo very quickly surpasses Johnson. Can do it all and big enough for short yardage work.

Should be a solid player at 128.

I predict a deep threat wr, Rb, Edge as the primary targets. Think they leave the draft with 7 to 8 draft picks. I would trade up for Kamara from Colorado St. and for a deep threat Wr. Let a Rb fall to them and olineman.

Duke had a bit of a turnaround. Believe he was a 3 year captain. Mcbeane guy. Disruptive guy and imo backs up Ed this year and could develop into Jones replacement. Great pick.

His route running is projection. That slant he houses vs LSU. Not the route but the move he puts on the safety. Teach him the proper foot and technique for a route and his body control shows he can put his foot in the ground and make the cut. Second part 10 yard split. 90% of routes is getting off the line and cut. Be shows the ability to cut without wasted movement. His 10 yards split indicates he can accelerate off the line and out of the cut.

I think the 10 yard split is more translatable to NFL football than the full 40. Coleman’s was in line with the top part of the class. Now pair that with proposed game speed and he has the potential to be more than a possession wr with red zone jump ball ability. He is not a lumbering runner and is surprisingly fluid. He develops into a route runner he could become a top level wr. He is not that out of the box. None of the wrs after the top 3 are. Route running is coachable. I thinks its a good gamble.

The big question mark is speed. He doesnt have linear speed like some others have. Im not going to get into game speed or GOS testing. Combine is public and everyone can access. His 10 yard split is above average. It is in line or better than guys that ran 4.4 or better. For route running and majority of concepts he will be fine. I see that. Allen Robinson was a productive wr with some rough passing games.

Really like his age. His athleticism is off the charts. Being a multi sport athlete and playing for a premier basketball program shows just that. I think him concentrating solely on football later than the other prospects lends to more potential. He is as fluid a wr in the draft. His body control and way he runs with the ball tells you he has the physical tools to develop into a high end route runner. I see him as a bigger more athletic Stevie Johnson. Many people are looking for a Diggs replacement. Imo that role is being given to Shakir. They were looking to replace Davis. Coleman is that.

I was vocal against him. Picking up a 3rd and get him im in. Those that wanted a power forward type. He played basketball at Michigan State. Looks the part and does the things Shakir and Samuels dont. Solid pick at the spot.

Double dip at 60 and the room is much better.

Bilichick was asked this exact question on why would Buffalo trade with the Chiefs. Basically, what you said. You do whats best for your team. This point your not concerned with what any other organization is doing. With Buffalo’s track record they have a plan and have earned the benefit to see what that plan is.

I think most agreed after Top 3 wrs rest are all similar graded players. 5 people have 5 different orders of players. Wr picked in rd 2 is likley similarly graded or graded higher than the players selected at 28 and 32. They were favorites but both have lots of questions. This is the meat of the wr class. Rds 2 and 3 is the bulk of the class. I also heard some nuggets that over 100 draft-able prospects went back to college. Due to NIL they would be better going back to school instead of being late picks. With transfer portal and NIL starters make about the same as a low pick but may better their position for next year. I dont think Beane drafts a player after 160. Trading those late picks for earlier ones is just as important as getting that 3rd. I suspect Buffalo have 160ish draft grades. Rest are priorty FAs. I suspect those late picks are moved today or early tomorrow. Buffalo is going value. I suspect Dejean or Newton. I lean Newton because of a higher position of value vs Saftey. Than a combo of 2 wrs with the other day 2 picks. Maybe im wrong and they love Polk, Mcconkey, Mitchell and take them at 33. These are the same players discussed for weeks at 28 still available now plus a 3rd and multiple late picks improved by 40 spots.

I think the gap between Dejean and Newton compared other S or DT prospects at 60 is wider than Mitchell or Mcconkey and Wr available at 60. Alot of teams picked a wr in rd 1. Probably expect them to go elsewhere rd 2. Beane very well could get a wr at 60 many want at 33.

Yes. I wanted Worthy or Leggette. Buffalo did not. The 2 highest rated players available are Newton or Dejean. Most cases you are not exchanging players you picking. I think they asked offense or defense. Big or small. Sorry to break it to some but they are not drafting a wr at 33. Its Dejean at S, Newton at DT maybe Powers Johnson or Fraizer at C as a long shot. Consensus will have Newton and Dejean as the beat availble. 60 and 95 will be wr imo. I think 1 of them is Burton from Alabama.

Newton or Dejean. If they were targeting a wr they dont trade with Kc or Carolina.

Allen, Dawkins, Taron Johnson, Bernard, Miller, Ferguson set. than Cook, Knox or McGovern for the final spot.

Ertz and Brian Johnson

Besides the uniform and speed they are not alike. Goodwin never had more than 450 receiving yards in any of his for years. The combine speed list is a list of track of track guys that had little college production or at best 1 year. Worthy has been productive since his freshman year. On an offense with multiple top 100 picks Worthy was the guy. If he weighed 15 more pounds he would be a top 15 pick. Imo he got leaner than normal because he was chasing the 40 record. I think he will weigh around 175-180 during the season.

I think the idea is round 1 impact player. Round 2 starter and round 3 role player future starter. Beane has made is money on day 3. He seems to have a good feel. His worst pick is Elam but imo Elam starts for half the league.

True. I think in the heat of the moment he can talk himself into thinking that Vikes 2nd will be about the same as our 1st when we win the superbowl.
