But seriously he nailed that press conference, like it was practically Josh Allenish for saying all the right things. 10 minutes ago, Augie said: He’s leaving with the cookies.

JohnBonhamRocks Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Frankly not thrilled because I am a Worthy guy and not a Coleman guy. What confuses me most is that this regime seemed to put an emphasis on separation as a key trait for their WR room and I do not see Coleman as a good separator. Watching him, he seems to lack that electricity and speed to his game. His reliance on physicality is something I feel is tough to translate to the NFL That said, he is physical and in ways very athletic. We’ve missed his big dog, the ball is mine, type of pass catcher. He blocks. He rarely drops the ball. Seems he will get along with JA17. Not real excited about him if I’m being honest but keeping an open mind and of course will be screaming my head off for him. 2 1 Quote
EchoBills Posted April 27 Posted April 27 22 hours ago, Success said: So, we have the usual "I've watched 10 minutes of youtube on this guy! He'll be a bust" stuff. Fans are SO predictable on draft day. None of you know anything - sorry. No need to be sorry. Fans can be disappointed that the guy they liked didn't get picked, but the definitive, over the top claim that this or that guy will be a bust is crazy. I really thought that after the Allen pick, people would have been humbled a little and refrained from posting absolutes before the player even put the uniform on. 1 1 6 Quote

alg Posted April 27 Posted April 27 22 hours ago, finn said: Like us, maybe Beane got sick of seeing Davis, Cook, and Diggs drop balls. Now Allen has what might be the best all-hands team in the NFL in Kincaid, Shakir, and Coleman. They might not be fast, but they all catch the ball. Gabe Davis taught the Bills this one important lesson: Nothing is more important than catching the football. We can also thank Gabe for drafting Kincaid and Colemam. I agree. We may be the best WR-hands team in the league. It has been said, and I am now fully on board: Keon Coleman has the best BALL SKILLS of any WR in this draft. 6 Quote
Dr. K Posted April 27 Posted April 27 (edited) I've read a lot of the comments here but by no means all, and a lot of commentary on the web about Coleman and the Bills drafting him. Here's my take for whatever it may be worth. I think Beane is taking a calculated risk in drafting a WR with such both negative and positive elements in his history and profile. I compare it to him drafting Josh Allen in 2018 in that in both cases both negative and positive evaluators could cite evidence to support their view. Beane could not move up to get one of the top three receivers and still draft other players to fill the many holes on the current roster. So he bets on the underlying athletic qualities and work ethic of Coleman, the fact that he has not played WR that long, is very young and still learning. His performance in the shuttle rather than his 40 time, etc. If it works out and Coleman is able to refine his native ability, learn better how to beat defensive backs—and if the offense is designed to let him do what he excels in and not immediately force him to do things he can't do (yet), there's a good chance he can, as Allen did, grow into a franchise player. It may not pay off, but the other WRs available in his estimation do not have that upside. It's a riskier move than drafting some of the other second round receivers, but I think Beane sees it as at least one path giving the Bills a franchise receiver. Coleman is a long way from that now, and is not going to be able to replace Diggs this season, but that's the bet he's making. Edited April 28 by Dr. K 10 1 Quote

BigAl2526 Posted April 27 Posted April 27 I think the Bills need more speed outside at the receiver position. for that reason, I'm feeling a little disappointed. I hope the Bills don't end up paying a price for that lack of speed. Quote

VW82 Posted April 28 Posted April 28 (edited) For those still freaking out, just talk yourself into Cook playing more snaps out wide now that we have Davis in the backfield. Cook, Shakir, Samuel, Kincaid. Coleman can play the Gabe role and block a lot while he learns how to run routes. It's still an upgrade. Edited April 28 by VW82 1 Quote
