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

[RyanC883]

total disaster. Justin Shorter 2.0.  Can’t separate, most games under 70 yards.  Slow, tall.   Trying to recreate Kelvin Benjamin.  Awful.  And then the Lats took Polk, a much better WR.  Chargers took Ladd.

Speak for yourself, Bean-o Boy.  I call it the "Underwear Olympics" and I have my receipts.

Not the speed that bothers me, this guy would have been available lower, we traded out of the 1st but stand pat here? Makes zero sense!

Coleman is a football player.  Bills fans will realize this kid can ball soon enough.  If you think you know Coleman because of his 40 time then you don't know anything about him.

Coleman to me also was best suited as a big slot guy. We have two slot guys in Shakir and Coleman

And he’s gonna play the X 

[KOKBILLS]

Well...

 

I think Coleman will be fine... He's going to catch passes from Josh Allen... He's a very lucky young man... And he is very young...

 

But when I think of the word explosive, Coleman was not the name that came to mind immediately...

 

However... He'll likely start at X from day 1, and I definitely think he'll be better than Gabe. He's clearly an alpha on the field, and it sounds like he's a really good kid... Definitely a Billsy pick...

Prolly could’ve picked him at the tail end of Rd2 if they liked him that much.  He’s about a couple cheeseburgers shy of running slower than Spencer Brown

 

With that being said, he could be a good red zone option

Ill admit.. Social Media Draft Guys post-combine are driving a lot of this.

 

Actual analysts all seem to love Coleman.

Who love’s Coleman?

[DJB]

Also did Josh really have a say in this? If so Beane needs to let his scouts make the pick not Josh

I am convinced that the people who hate this pick, don't really watch college football.  They watch highlights and read commentaries from non-NFL people to get their information.  

Expand  

All they know is a 40 time and think everything revolves around that. This is a good pick. The Bills got the guy they wanted and also gained some compensation through trades.

[Blank Stare]

More like Keon Slowman amirite?

Yeah but a guy upthread said he sucks...and that guy probably knows since he is a poster on a message board.

Expand  

The first three posts I read on here about him were “anyone but Coleman” so now he’s ruined for me. 😭

In 2023, Coleman totaled 50 catches of 658 yards and 11 touchdowns. The 6-foot-4, 215-pounder has good size with quickness, athleticism, and excellent ball skills. In 2022 for Michigan State, he recorded 58 receptions for 798 yards and seven touchdowns while playing. Coleman opened the 2023 season, and his career as a Seminole, with a monster game of nine catches for 122 yards and three touchdowns versus LSU. Coleman also got the better of a future NFL corner in Wake Forest’s Caelen Carson in their matchup. Team sources have said Coleman moves well for a big wideout and presents size-mismatch problems. However, Coleman is slow and could have problems separating in the NFL. That could make him more of a No. 2 wideout as a pro.
