This is my thinking. Sometimes you just have to take the best player instead of drafting a guy because he's big. Thats how we ended up with James Hardy all those years ago. You can argue with me that McConkey is the best player at WR at 28 but I refuse to just say we need to draft a big guy there for the sake of it. I totally understand that thought process when you look at the composition of the roster.
We see nothing but zone coverage against the Bills already we don't see a lot of teams play man coverage against us. We are at pick # 28. If you think you are getting a sure thing elite speed guy who can do everything you desire you better be ready to watch Beane trade up in April.
EJ Manuel threw over 65% too and he sucked in the NFL and was inaccurate. Guys who throw bubble screens all day are different than guys who have to throw a 15 yard dig route or a 14 yard comeback.
No you said you wanted a window opener and someone who can separate with yards after catch instead of a guy who's only going to get half a step. McConkey does all of that thats why i'm saying its a contradiction.
He's a good football player and everything Mike Norvell has said is he's a great leader and a good kid who cares about team. That will sell him to teams besides his 40 time. I would have loved to have seen 4.55 but it didn't happen.
I had him at # 5 in my rankings and he is not an ideal fit for the Bills but if you are to believe Brandon Beane that they are just looking for playmakers and guys who can separate and get open and don't care about body types than McConkey has to be in consideration at 28. I am coming around on the idea of him even though he's not a perfect fit and will never be a true # 1 WR.
He is ungodly inaccurate. If you think you can put him on the Josh Allen plan than go for it but he's more of a PS guy in year 1 to me than a viable NFL backup.
So here’s my question. Would you be okay with McConkey then? He fits everything you’re looking for. Best route runner, ran 4.4 toasted guys in the SEC but some question whether he can play outside
Coleman is going to go in round 2. People knocking him for not being as fast as guys 30 pounds lighter than him is insane. All that did today was knock him out of the first round and it’s exactly the reason why Mitchell will be a 1st rounder now. Coleman is a good football player so I agree with you
If anything it just goes to show what flavor of WR do you want. I thought Franklin was the best fit but he came in extremely light and 2 inches shorter. I’m interested to see what Mitchell runs because I do think the Bills would prefer a bigger guy if possible
No he didn’t haha he’s a 2nd round guy even with that time. He’s almost 6’4 215 pounds he has like 20 to 40 pounds on most of these guys of course he’s going to run slower
The problem with Benson is he lacks vision and is indecisive in his cuts. When he gets going he’s a monster but I think he needs to be drafted by a gap system team to fully reap his rewards. It is nice to see FSU guys killing the combine again tho
I actually think him and Mitchell are prob the two WRs they would take at 28. Coleman fits their type of player off the field. Good kid, solid football player, good leader. Had the potential to replace Diggs as the # 1 in a year or two
I agree to an extent but FSUs offense was really weird this year. I think Coleman has a more advanced route tree than he showed it’s just FSU sent Coleman and Wilson a ton vertically almost force feeding those two despite being 13-0 in the regular season. They basically abandoned in between the hashes a ton this season when they had other dynamic players like Jaheim Bell
I think Coleman is a lot better than Davis as a prospect just was overhyped earlier in the year
