Several here have watched a lot more than highlights and he can’t get open.

 

But he gets contested catches, too. 

 

I just get tired of draft day experts.  Scouts & Beane do this stuff 24x7 - no one here does anywhere near that.

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.

At 4.61 he won't have to throw it far

[VW82]

Unless there's another huge run on WRs, I don't understand why we picked Coleman here. At least trade back. 

 

Also, we have six years worth of data telling us that Josh needs receivers who can gain separation. He waits for guys to get open instead of throwing them open.

 

Maybe Coleman is a better blocker than I'm giving him credit for, but this just doesn't seem like an ideal fit.

Seems like Beane has the complete opposite opinion on this guys skill set then the shouting report. Guy is raving about his release

Meh!!! I think this means they'll be looking for a great route runner next 

Too bad the remaining guys will be gone. What a disappointing pick.

Tell me this isn't Kelvin Benjamin Part Deux?

You should go look up KBs first 2 years in the NFL.

 

Then gets hurt and lazy.

 

Coleman has way better YAC ability, coupled with a work ethic that was non existent for KB.

 

These are lazy comparisons.

 

Play speed and forty time are much different things. 

 

IMO, Coleman was very high on the list of WRs playing through contact.  That's just as important, bc some blazing 4.3 guy that can't get off a jam or gets their route disrupted downfield doesn't add much

[McMuffin]

I liked Mconkey here.  He seemed like the type of receiver on the opposing team that makes you yell at the tv saying “ How is he always open?!!” Except he could have been playing for our team.

I’m definitely iffy on Coleman, but he wasn’t lasting more than the first 10 picks of RD2… let’s stop with the dramatics that we took a guy that would be there at 60. 

This F**** board is never happy

The more this board hates it, the more i think they made a great pick. 

 

Exactly. A bunch of crybabies.

 

Coleman is the big physical WR they have lacked the WHOLE Josh Allen era. Plus he can return punts if need be.

 

The Bills have the rest of the draft to get a speed guy.

 

A bunch of whiny pants Bills fans are.

hope Josh is right

He’s right!  Coleman never had a QB like he’s getting.  Coleman has a lot of dawg and beast mode in him.

[Dr.Mantis_Toboggan]

Next T.O…

[Starr-Bills]

“Coleman might lack the athletic traits to be a well-rounded WR2. Instead, keep an eye on him as a big slot receiver who can be a red-zone specialist.” NFL.com

 

vomit. 
 

slower Gabe with slightly better hands? Beane being to clever by half me thinks.

The NFL Draft profile comparison is Drake London.

On NFL Network it was Mike Williams.  People here don't know what the fu#k they are talking about.  Let's trust the folks that took us from laughingstock to primetime material.

[Dr. Who]

Hating this draft so far. I wanted Legette or Mitchell and McConkey. Beane has done the opposite of what I hoped for.

Pushed for Kincaid. I guess I used up all the magic last year.

 

[jkirchofer]

Beane has no clue how to evaluate talent on the offensive side of the ball. We will not win it all with this front office.

[Niagara Dude]

I see our offence struggling to move the football and Allen taking the blame,  this team is worse off then last season.  This guy is project and reminds me of Chris Burkett who was big and slow.  You take guys like this in 3rd or 4th round

all you guys must know more about WR than Josh Allen

Josh Allen picked Kenny boi to be OC so yeah maybe he should stick to being a QB 

[90sBills]

He looks slow in highlights against college competition. Can’t imagine how he’ll do against NFL DB’s.
