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

[OldTimer1960]

This really is inexplicable. They said they wanted explosive players with RAC and they took a guy who can’t get open and can’t run away from anyone.

 

For context, Chop Robinson (DE) is considerably faster.

Rumor was NE was taking Coleman at the next pick

 

 

Which is why they then moved out.

I hate to bring the name up but it gives me James Hardy vibes. Similar size but actually slower.

Gross.  4th round speed. 3rd round talent. 1st round character 

Kelvin Benjamin 2.0

This organization just doesn't learn from their previous mistakes. 

[Blackbeard]

Just replaced gabe Davis.  Which isn’t saying much. 
 

Underwhelming.

Fastest receiver at the combine through the gauntlet - speed where it matters.

 

Special teams player of the year in the ACC...punt returns.

Special teams should not factor in to any player selected prior to round 5.

Couldn’t have possibly scripted a more nightmare scenario. 

Yup. Hope we’re all wrong.

Don't like it. Doesn't separate. When they put up Mike Williams as a pro comp that says it all. Non-separator. 

 

DJ said Big Slot as well. That is ultimately where I think he makes his money. 

 

Drake London was the NFL comp at NFL Draft Profile on NFL.com

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.

Oooof, traded down twice, had almost 24 hrs and this was the pick, wow, I kinda expected better.

this draft so far is a fireable offense when it all plays out the way it obviously will

I'm absolutely fine with the selection.

 

Now address other positions and add another WR in the 3rd or 4th

 

P.S. we will still have future drafts and FA to supplement the WR corps over the next few years

What about this upcoming season though? We are severely lacking playmakers.

fat?

 

 

He runs a 4.61 dude. That’s 3t DT speed 

[harmonkillebrew]

You'd think he would have been available by our 2nd 2nd round pick, even our third.  Why pass up WRs with better pro traits and then not trade back or pick someone else

[beebe]

Can someone explain to me how you think the Bills-Chiefs trade came together? Who says what first? Do the Chiefs tell the Bills who they are taking? I don't get it.

WGR just said something interesting. “Coleman was the last receiver that Josh specifically wanted”

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?

Love it

Hate it

[pigpen65]

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

I’m good with it.  Won’t disappear in January.  Faster than you guys think - his combine was wild.

Yeah 4.61 wild 🤣🤣🤣

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.
