Is this the guy that couldn’t stay healthy and can’t catch the ball?

Please be more specific, this is a player coming from the Browns. Thanks

So...to be clear...the Browns acquire Tyrod, and then trade away a speedy deep threat? ?

 

Alright, teasing aside I was completely caught off-guard by this.  I love the move, I love the cap hit.  I love that Beane is still out there trying to improve this team.

 

They must really like what they have in Antonio Callaway their early 4th round pick out of Florida. Callaway was rated as a 1st round type talent but off the field issues made him fall hard. I think Callaway who is a very fast stretch the field type player is more than likely impressing the Browns enough where they can trade Coleman for something.

I see Coleman as VERY similar to Phillip Dorsett.   

 

Yeah Coleman has more excuses due to injury but he just really hasn't looked like a good NFL WR when healthy.

 

To me........Goodwin always flashed better WR traits than Robert Woods.......he just needed to start trying.

 

But the Bills were whistling past the graveyard without someone who could at least *potentially* stretch the field so glad they tried something.

 

Goodwin's main issue was always health in my opinion. Goodwin always looked like a great explosive big play type player when he played, it just seemed like he was always getting hurt.

Love this trade.  Coleman hasn't shown much for a 1st rounder, but I like that they're actively trying to better themselves.  Assuming it was a 4th or 5th rounder, it seems like a small price to pay.  Let's hope for some of that 3rd year WR magic.

So we have Zay who catches about half his targets, and is injured about half the time, and now Coleman (see above)... Maybe Beane found out how to merge multiple players into one... That'd be great! 

Just have them line up next to one another run the same route. One is bound to catch it.

I looked it up, broke his hand a few times. The general consensus I keep seeing is he can’t catch.

Rapoport is saying it's a "late round pick" so probably 5-7, maybe a 6th that could become 5th based on playing time?

Was just over at the browns boards and they seem fine with him leaving, saying they would be lucky to get a 4th rounder for him.

 

consider the source.

I still think he has potential to be a Golden Tate type of WR. At least we have a deep threat in the WR room now.

DeShone Kiser, Cody Kessler, RGIII, Kevin Hogan and Josh McCown (three games)

 

That couldn't have anything to do with it right? 

 

Yeah, and now add Tyrod Taylor to the list of Brown's QB's who can't hit a speed guy to save their life.

Looks like the Brown's are doing the same thing the Bills did when they unloaded Sammy, Goodwin, and Woods.

I wouldn't use their fanbase as a gauge

Yeah, but is he fast? 

[BananaB]

It’s hard to judge this guy coming from Cleveland, it’s hard to judge our guys after Tyrod playing QB... Coleman gives us some much needed speed though. We have 3 top 40 picks at WR right now, hopefully our new QB can get them the ball

What’s to consider? They watch their team far more than we do. They should probably know who on their team sucks.

Love this!! He’s been on our radar forever. He’s speed and talent just not a ton of production yet. On this team he’s an upgrade 

 

Nice call Kirby.

 

You’ve been saying this for a while. Sounds like you have some sources...

Haslam needs to absolutely turn things over to someone with a brain, or just sell.

The fanbase of the team he came from are the fans that watch the player the most. It's not the be all end all but just because the Browns organization sucks doesn't mean that the fans are clueless as to what they are watching.

So Zay is #4 now?

Let's hope

With his injury history and limited catch radius, I am tempering my expectations. He will probably be a useful decoy. 

 

Beane clearly favors measurables over stats. And that worries me. The team is big, tall, and fast. Cool. But if we can't complete passes, none of that will matter.
