Honestly, If a former first rounder who doesn’t have character or criminal issue is available for a mid to low round pick, why not do it? Dude is talented so it’s a great risk. While they are adding receivers, why not kick the tires on Brandon Coleman, formerly of the Saints? 6’6” and just caught up in a numbers game in NO. Coleman was cut due to injury. 1

JoeF Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Ian RapoportVerified account @RapSheet 7m7 minutes ago The #Browns traded former first round WR Corey Coleman to the #Bills in exchange for a late-round pick, source confirms (as @AdamSchefter said.) Second time in less than a year the Bills traded for a first round WR. 1

Maybe Beane found out how to merge multiple players into one... That'd be great! Throwing ? against the wall and hoping it sticks! On paper, it’s physically talented ? though. Good risk.
MAJBobby Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 There is your Deep threat. I called for this awhile ago. Hope the change of scenery lights his career up.

I LOVE investing in talent. This is a guy that could blossom in this situation. You've been calling for this all offseason. I wasn't sure they'd want to mess with him.......comes from family background that is rough even by NFL standards and has been accused of orchestrating a beatdown of someone who lives in his apartment complex in Ohio by some of his circle of friends.

Given the PED FA signings this year, I think the new regime is realizing that you need to taken some “character” risks assuming it’s not too bad. 1 minute ago, YoloinOhio said: Proehl hasn’t had a good camp.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 5 minutes ago, PastaJoe said: @thadbrown7 Just perusing Corey Coleman NFL stats... big red flag is catches per targets. He's made 56 receptions on 131 targets. That's 43%. Only two guys of top 80 last year in NFL receiving yards were below 50%. One was Dez Bryant. Maybe it's the injuries. Not a lot of people on the last two Browns rosters had very good percentages. 2nd year receiver whos struggled with injuries and like 5 qbs in 3 years.
McBean Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 I love it. Low risk high reward. Welcome to Bills Mafia Corey Coleman! 1

NoSaint Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 5 minutes ago, Augie said: I have to think it’s conditional, so what’s the harm? Yup- all upside really. I’d trade conditional day 3 picks for first round guys in bad situations all day. Typically even the big first round busts are above average for day 3 picks and without the bonus or picking up the option the contracts aren’t bad if they flop either. 1

Yeah, I don’t know if it will work out but it feels like a good buy low move. If he fails our WR group is still bad. If he stays healthy he can boost the group. If he turned in a year like Goodwin had in SF last year it would be a massive boost. 3
Mat68 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Coleman has barrels of potential. Since drafted has played with 6 QBs and battled injuries for 2 years. Perfect buy low scenario. Give him a few weeks of learning the playbook before getting him on the field. He has the ability to be Brandin Cooks for us. Benjamin, Coleman, Kerley, Jones is not a bad Wr Corp. 1
DJB Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 To me its interesting because i think hes a slot guy and the coaches have been talking up Kerley and hes a slot guy too. Maybe one can play outside? KB Coleman Clay Kerley Not horrible i guess.
MAJBobby Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Perfect. Former 1st rounder with 4.37 speed and cost a late round pick. No downside at all to this move. And still cost controlled this year and next year (before needing 5th year option) Edited August 6, 2018 by MAJBobby 2
Southern Bills Fan Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 11 minutes ago, NoSaint said: Benjamin zay coleman kerley could be a functional top 4 and we have some decent 5-7 type guys for depth/upside. He’s a risk but he at least gives a better shot at fielding a competent group I agree. Adding talent and hoping that the coaching staff can get the best out of him is worth the risk imo.
BuffaloRush Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 31 minutes ago, SCBills said: KB/Kerley/Jones/Coleman Lots of potential there.... Assuming Holmes make it as a red zone threat/special teamer. That leaves 1 spot up for grabs? This trade shows... Jones is no guarantee

They are so easy to find.
