Coleman has some of the best hands in the class IMO (not THE best, but he's up there) and certainly much better hands than Franklin. The separation is the big concern with Coleman. As I said, very young and inexperienced; you have to hope you can teach him how to generate separation much more consistently than he did in college. He's still figuring things out but could help us immediately in terms of giving you someone to throw to where he's "open when he's covered".

As someone that has Coleman in the conversation with Franklin for the #5 WR in the draft IMO, Coleman has a lot of red flags. Whoever takes him is gambling on him being a Josh Allen-esq outlier. I am bullish though. Very young, very inexperienced (split time between football and basketball up until the past two years), has the size, elusiveness, and hand-eye coordination that can't be taught and seemingly has the motor to make the most of his gifts.

He's one of the fastest WRs in the draft, so no. I like Coleman as well who actually has speed concerns though lol.

My personal order of those guys pre-draft was: Franklin McConkey Pearsall Mitchell Legette Worthy With a significant gap from Pearsall to Mitchell and an even more significant gap from Mitchell to Legette/Worthy.

I'd be surprised if it doesn't cost at least #33 for Aiyuk but we'll see. He'd be the most exciting of those three vets for sure.

Yeah, something like that would be fine to me. Really curious what SF ultimately gets for Deebo if he's the guy though. Feel like it'll less than people think.

He's 6'2". But yes, he was the consensus #5 WR in the class. If we take him at #33, many in the media will immediately look at Beane as a genius for maneuvering to acquire better picks while still getting a guy that many of the media members believes can be a special player. Personally, I'm not as high on him and there's a handful of WRs available now that I'd take ahead of him, but I do have a 2nd round grade on him.

Still remaining from my big board at the beginning of the night for options I'd like: Insert OLine Here (probably just JPJ at this point) Cooper DeJean Jer'Zhan Newton Kool Aid McKinstry Troy Franklin Keon Coleman For those focused on WRs, my personal board: MHJ Nabers Odunze Thomas Keon Coleman Troy Franklin Jacob Cowing Ladd McConkey Javon Baker Ricky Pearsall Ja'Lynn Polk Adonai Mitchell Brenden Rice Roman Wilson Jermaine Burton Malachi Corley Xavier Legette Xavier Worthy Isaiah Williams Jamari Thrash Anthony Gould Devontez Walker Jalen McMillan The top 15 all had 2nd round or better grades, so long story short, plenty of options still available tomorrow. Among those top 15, I don't think Cowing and Wilson make much sense for us, though Wilson in particular has the type of DNA I think Beane would love.

Just be forewarned, don't look at AD Mitchell's if he ends up being our pick tomorrow lol.

As much as I adore Deebo, he doesn't make much sense for us. If we go the veteran route and Aiyuk is off the table, Higgins or Sutton make more sense than Deebo IMO. Probably wouldn't trade what Cinci wants for Higgins though. I think the cost for Sutton is probably a good match for what we have now and then I'd like to add a rookie WR tomorrow.

Options at #33 for those that are purely focused on WR: Adonai Mitchell (majority believes he's the #4 or #5 WR in the draft even if I personally do not) My personal #5 through #9 WRs (granted one of them is Cowing who is simply not a fit for the role we need to fill) Brandon Aiyuk? #33 is roughly what the projected cost would be to acquire him and SF did just draft a WR at 31. We made some significant moves up the board while still having a guy available that most people preferred over Worthy/Legette anyways and several options that I personally prefer and that's just at WR.

DB or trade down would be my choice but we'll see what Beane thinks.

If his WRs could catch he would have had 35-40 TDs last year while his shoulder was *****

Hoping for a DB or trade down at this point

What about on the pass plays where they're part of the progression?

We already have Samuel, Shakir, and even Kincaid for the screens IMO. Worthy would give us a deep threat that we're currently lacking for sure. Not a fan of him as a prospect personally but in a perfect world, he'll be very dangerous down the field.

Most of the QBs were reaches IMO lol

1-5 and 17 on my Bills board are now off the board, but 6-16 are still there: Quinyon Mitchell Terrion Arnold Brian Thomas Jr. Insert OL Here Verse DeJean Chop Newton McKinstry Franklin Coleman

When Beane trades up for one of these corners, the message board is going to be ELECTRIC

Bengals have to be going OL IMO

My rough big board for the Bills would be: MHJ Nabers Odunze Bowers Turner Quinyon Mitchell Arnold Brian Thomas Jr. Insert O-Line Here Verse DeJean Chop McKinstry Newton Franklin Coleman Latu

Heard the same about Nabers as well

Don’t agree with the placement of everyone here but pretty much all of it makes sense with your philosophy. Fun read!

I think the Diggs comp someone else made is too strong for my blood. Could definitely see him being a Tyler Lockett type, who had a few seasons where he was a borderline top 10-12 guy.
