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

[Mat68]

I was vocal against him.  Picking up a 3rd and get him im in.  Those that wanted a power forward type.  He played basketball at Michigan State.  Looks the part and does the things Shakir and Samuels dont.  Solid pick at the spot.

Tough crowd in here. I’d have preferred Mitchell, but there were probably character concerns. 
 

The 40 time and lack of separation is definitely concerning, but if you watch him play, he’s athletic. 
 

Here’s what I like about the pick:

 

- He brings size we didn’t have to our WR room

- strong hands. and a big catch radius

- Pairing him with Kincaid and Knox in the red zone we’ll create mismatches 

- Young player with room to grow

 

Again not my first choice, but Josh and the front office like him. I’ll be rooting him on and hoping I was wrong in preferring other WR’s.

guys on the dallas draft show are saying Mitchell has major off the field concerns and there are at least two teams who have him off their board completely.

Diabetes?

I didn't realize who this was at first. This is the dude that ran the gauntlet at the combine perfectly. K, I'm a little excited now. Dude looks like he has awesome hands

Ugh

Coleman has no elite qualities whatsoever.

He is not even that big really,

6'3" 213 lbs? That's not big enough to bully cbs in the pros

Not very good at contested catches like everyone assumes..

Limited route tree and route running skills... I think he has a hard time getting open in the pros.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong but I think Beane completely blew it.

  He does nothing elite, Coleman's yprr metrics were all in the lower percentiles...there were a number of wrs I'd have taken before him. 

 Bummer

 

 

He's not even 21 lol. He's gonna change his body to an even better form.

You should get an application into OBD.

 

I have a family member who used to work as a Bills scout and another member who scouted for the Jets. Both worked decades ago though.  I know the process some. Unfortunately no ins considering Ralph Wilson is dead and other different ownership in NY

 

Can't give names though as it would out me online.

Think about how many times the Bills receivers didn't come up with contested catches.  Coleman should fix that.

If he simply brings that element to the team on a consistent basis, I think his floor is what we hoped/expected Gabe to provide without the disappearing acts. 

We literally had Gabe go games without as much of a target and get participation awards in conjunction with our #1 getting 10+ targets to the tune of >50yds and coming off the field every other play.

I'm excited and I look forward to the next complimentary piece!

[McMuffin]

They were saying the same things about Mike Evans as they are about Keon Colman so hopefully he can be that type of guy for us.

[JMM]

Guys please go read scouting reports. Please go to YouTube and look up his gauntlet drill. His short speed, his hands and tracking skills are ELITE. He's a beast. This is a GOOD pick.

[Aurelius]

Another guy who did “OK” as a big wr that was clocked even slower than Coleman was Larry Fitzgerald.  It seems Keon has exceptional hands and play-on-ball skills which are what the Bills covet.  Let’s give him a shot before we write him off.  Could end up being a real stud for us.

Then why does everyone on tv love this pick for the bills?

All the draft specialists on this board should understand 73% of the receivers drafted in the 1st round since 2014 washed out and never got a 2nd contract. No one knows who translates into a productive player. I do know Keon is a physically tough receiver that will dominate on 50/50 balls and reminds me of Keenan Allen.

What’s the percentage in round 2?😉

***** great pick by the Rams

[Bills Bud]

Y’all have a Napoleon complex lol. He is a good pick, worth 33? Maybe not but he is good

[Big Blitz]

AD Mitchell clearly an attitude issue.  Plummeting.
