NFL draft had Coleman around 35 best player.. 

And we got him at 33.

 

Folks on this board will not be happy with anything Beane does.  Coleman is a guy we don't have!  He's not a smurf...and I watch a lot of college football...he's faster on the field than his timed speed.  He will make the contested catches.  He has good release at the LOS.  

[Bruffalo]

Coleman is basically seems Gabe Davis with better hands. 
 

I don’t know if that’s really what we needed.

 

Another WR please

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

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

 

Yup. Agreed entirely. If anyone on this board was as qualified as they need to be to be making such assessment, they would be inside one of these war rooms on draft day, not posting on a message board.

I am not saying it's a bad player or bad pick.  I like Coleman.  

 

But...it's odd AF that you'd move out of 28, with your WR (apparently Coleman is your guy) and expose yourself to the risk of missing out.  

IF this was your guy...congrats for the manuevering.  

 

???

 

I mean, would you have posted this no matter what position and player the Bills drafted?

 

It's common sense that you move out when you have multiple, I would guess at least 3-4 minimum, guys all ranked equally. Coleman was a guy in that group. He wasn't THE GUY so to speak. Bills were certainly willing to risk someone else picking him and isntead taking McConkey, DeJean or whoever else. It's certainly possible Worthy and Legett were also in that tight group that the Beane valued as the same.

I understand and I’ll be the first to admit I am not qualified to critique their picks, but I can watch games and see that he is almost never open.

I think we got Coleman for defending the Hail Mary's

“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. 

He better be able to play on the boundary, because Kincaid is our big slot.

trying to like the pick…

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.

Since when do big slowies make plays downfield? All the deep stuff is to FAST guys. All due respect.

Not a name that has been touted around here.

Well, not in a positive way.

[GoBills!]

I see him as a target when the play breaks down and red zone, Allen hasn't had a tall strong WR, he relies on knox and kincaid for those plays this gives him a new weapon with better hands than Gabe.

Coaches don’t make you faster or quicker.

[Dablitzkrieg]

Luckily,  99% of you all are morons, so I'm convinced it was a great pick 👍🏽 

[Coach Tuesday]

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

[ScorpionZero]

The only way they make this better is to move up and grab Mitchell

I'm not a pro scout but I hit on Metcalf while Beane took Cody Ford ......and I hit on Jefferson over Diggs (watched a lot of LSU football over the years)......And I have Legette and Thomas (could have easily traded up for him) over Coleman. If I am correct with these guys, well I should be hired ..

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.

 

 

Someone pointed out earlier - the fans wanted Humphrey over Basham, Metcalf over Ford, Lindelbaum over Elam... sometimes there is logic over the madness (less said about Rosen over Allen).

[The Frankish Reich]

I just looked back at Kelvin Benjamin's scouting report. Guess what his 40 time was? 4.61. Guess what the report said? "Plays faster"

It's a Beane/McD thing. They've been trying to find that big receiver since they came to Buffalo. One epic fail (Benjamin), one moderate success (Gabe). Third time is a Hall of Famer.
