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

[billybob71]

all you guys must know more about WR than Josh Allen

[Aurelius]

Then again he’s kinda a lot like Eric Moulds, who was also big and “slow” but ended up being real good.

I'm a tad nervous because I've been pumping up Coleman as a great pick, and now if he sucks I'm gonna look stupid. But man his size and competitiveness and hands just get me really excited. Allen is a gunslinger. He just got his guy he can launch the ball to downfield 1v1.

Stay true to your belief. The same complainers, who complain about everything, don't know football better than the Bills brass.

[Niagara Dude]

Beane will now BS to reporters telling them about his play speed.  4.6 is TE speed ,  it is considered slow for a NFL receiver.  Been a terrible disappointing draft and just terrible offseason

[Warriorspikes51]

Beane mentioned he really loved Allen when here on his visit

[NewEra]

Like the physical being and the character. Love the jump ball talent.  Like the rac ability. 

 

HATE that we didn’t trade back with the chargers and take him there.  
 

HATE that we took him over 4 other WRs

 

I’ll love him.  I’m just not happy rn

Stuff I'm not loving here

-Press coverage can blanket his release and catch a ride.

-Below-average acceleration getting out of breaks and cuts.

-Could struggle finding separation to avoid excessive contested catches.

Stuff that sounds good:

-Prototypical size and high-end ball skills.

-Attacks underneath throws with extended, sticky hands.

-Works aggressively back on short and intermediate throws.

-Unlikely to see focus drops when watching his tape.

-Meets jump balls with full extension to the high-point.

-Uses size to gain advantage over the cornerback on jump-ball wins.

-Hard to bring down after the catch and as a punt returner.

Honestly I love this kids skills 

[Pokebball]

I've been critical for years about not having a receiver that could go up and get the 50/50 balls. He's probably that guy

[PBF81]

Is there a whole lot of difference between him and Davis.  

 

Guess we'll find out.  Franklin had better not light things up somewhere.  He's a lot closer to what we needed with a notably greater upside.  

 

Oh well, they're the "experts."  LOL

Yeah this pretty seals it -- going getting Sunday Ticket this year.  If Beane doesn't want to win, then I'm not wasting my money.

Beane: "His play speed is closer to 4.5"

 

How comforting 🙄

Did he actually say that?

I’ll give Coleman a chance, but why didn’t they trade down again? Seems like Coleman would have been there. 

Exactly

Meaning he was the last remaining of the WRs that Josh wanted the Bills to pick, or the last guy Josh wanted the Bills to pick, as in he didn't want him?

 

The first one

He'll be good in a couple years. He's not going to have an immediate impact though outside of maybe returns. 

Which isn't what we needed.  

[Dr.Mantis_Toboggan]

I love a good polarizing pick, especially at a position where the guys generally all rate out the same but our message boarder GMs know more than the guy who hit on WRs in the 4th and 5th rounds.

 

He blocks, they over value that, we know dis.

 

He’s big, physical, they’ve been after that for quite a while…

 

As for the “he runs one route” crowd, how often was he ASKED to run more than one?

 

Im not saying the guy will be a stud, but this Mahomes-esque crying going on here is quite the sight to behold.
 

Watch this guy go be the next T.O…

If you want a back to the basket post player, Coleman is the man.

You could be right. This guy goes up and gets the ball even with a CB hanging all over him. That's an underrated quality.
