Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State

[SCBills]

Seemingly everyone but Twitter draft guys and a lot of us fans LOVE Keon Coleman. 
 

Hopefully they’re right.

Convince me we couldn't trade back eight pieces and still get this guy

Expand  

New England was taking him with the next pick, but subsequently traded out.

Mike Williams is a good receiver, though.

Expand  

 

But he is a #2 outside guy who only runs 3 routes and has to win contested catches because he doesn't separate. He can't be anyone's #1

Can someone explain to me how you think the Bills-Chiefs trade came together? Who says what first? Do the Chiefs tell the Bills who they are taking? I don't get it. 

Expand  

Chiefs looking to trade up…they are talking to like 6 teams on trading up and down.

 

teams don’t discuss who you are picking

 

its just negotiating value of the pick.  You got one team looking to move down, another to move up.

 

 

buffalo in their scouting seemed to have only 25 or so 1st round graded players.no 1st round graded players left so thry traded down. Thry traded down again to 2nd round.

 

they did not trade down again because they likely asked for a 3rd or top round of thr 4th in a trade and teams weren’t doing it.

Davis replacement. 

 

Love his size. 

Expand  

A taller, much more athletic Davis with better hands. Same speed, though. 

[Warriorspikes51]

The good news is, he should be able to win against physical press man….

Disco was goovy. The bass lines were some of the best in music history.

Probably isn’t going to run away from people is EXACTLY what NFL offenses craved…. in 1985.

 

These dudes are stuck in the Stone Age. Fire em all next year and make Ben Johnson the king.

Expand  

 

Nobody in the NFL is running away from people consistently except for guys like Tyreek Hill. Diggs wasn't doing that. A WR's job is to create leverage at the catch point to open up a throwing window, then catch the ball, then make something happen with the ball in their hands if there's an opportunity. Coleman I believe can do all of that. And he's going to really work at his craft.

I am optimistic on this one.  I think he’s more D Hop than Kelvin Benjamin.

I'll take some of what your on, you can ship it to p.o. Box never gonna happen

Gabe with better hands would be really good. The drops were the biggest problem. And for those calling him Kelvin Benjamin, if we could get Benjamin before he decided that he liked eating more than football then that is a 1,000 yard guy.

Expand  

That’s the kind of positive spin I want to see. Thanks.

Cooper Kupp 4.62 40.  
 

 

Expand  

Kupp plays in the slot. If we move Coleman to the slot do we force Shakir outside?

Yeesh, some of these takes and comments. 

 

It's all gonna be alright. Let the kid take the field before we decide he's a bust. They'll have a plan for him.

Elam agrees

He was going to run on stage to hug Goodell, but it was 40 yards away, and they didn’t have enough time.

Expand  

Worthy sprinted to the stage, and the light breeze in Detroit picked him up and he was never heard of again

Guess we’ll be waiting 3 years to make that determination because that’s when McD will let him on the field.

Beane really hadn't drafted well... This is his chance to restock the roster not a great start. 

Edited April 26, 2024 by Mrbojanglezs

[Logic]

Positive attitude, relentless will to improve, loves to block, can contribute on special teams, "best football is in front of him", can play in the Buffalo elements.

Pretty much a grab bag of tired McDermott/Beane cliches with this guy.

Nevermind speed, explosion, separation ability. Nope. He brings his lunch pail to work and he likes to block! Huzzah!

And heaven forbid we not take the guy that JOSH likes. Worked super well with Ken Dorsey. 

*****. Mother*****ing *****.

Literally the opposite of Edmunds. 
Edmunds was super athletic, RAS score of 9.5, but played worse than his athleticism. 
Coleman is not super athletic,but plays better than his athletic traits would suggest. 

Expand  

But Edmunds was 15 years old when he was drafted.  How old is Coleman?
