sven233 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 (edited) Going into this draft, I had the top 3 WRs going in the top 10 and I had 2 other WRs, BTJ and Legette rated as first rounders. Then, I had a bunch of WRs all rated about the same as 2nd rounders. Coleman was not one of these guys....... I don't even have him rated as a 3rd rounder. If we went through all we did last night and end up with Coleman at 33, this would be super disappointing. There was one WR in this draft that I didn't want to touch at all unless it got into later in Day 3 and that was Coleman. Ugh.... I've given Beane the benefit of the doubt more often than not, but if he comes out of this with Coleman as his top pick, I'm sorry......I will hate it. He'd make a much better TE than WR. He just can't separate as a WR. And, if you can't separate in college, you aren't getting open in the NFL. I could give two craps about 50/50 catches. All that shows me is that you can't separate. I'm not saying he can't turn into a great player someday down the road. Who knows. But he won't help us win a Super Bowl this year or probably over the next couple years either. He's not a player you go into a game fearing or having to game plan for. At best, he is a slower Gabe Davis. At worst, he's Kelvin Benjamin and will be out of the league in a few years. He's not someone I want to hitch my wagon to at all. Edited April 26 by sven233

And if he has to play from the slot to be effective, he's taking Kincaid off the field. Mitchell at least is what they need. If you think the consistency issues are fixable, he has to be the play. If you trade out of #33, I think you're not getting him. Coleman and Franklin might fall. I still think McConkey is going to be an excellent player. I guess we'll see, but Beane has to get 2 WRs tonight, imo. 3
Alphadawg7 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Ok...lets look at the next 10 teams on the clock behind the Bills to see where we could maybe make another move to. I highly doubt we go even that far, Beane was ready to pick at 32 and made clear he doesn't want to go way down in the 2nd and already turned those offers down at 28. Maybe he gets one too good to pass up, but since we know he prefers to stay close, I am only looking at the next 10 picks. 33 (580) - BUF: WR, S, DL, CB, IOL are all areas we could take a player from, and all have guys we could take at 33 here. But we know WR is the most pressing need. 34 (560) - NE: Near lock to be offense and either OL or WR, probably WR. 35 (550) - ARI: Its not gonna be a WR, it will be Newton, Cooper, Kool-Aid, JPJ, or Frazier most likely. 36 (540) - WAS: They are focused on OL help 37 (530) - LAC: Sure bet to be a WR 38 (520) - TEN: Solid chance could be WR 39 (510) - CAR: Highly unlikely it will be WR 40 (500) - WAS: Moderate chance it could be WR 41 (490) - GB: Unlikely to be WR 42 (480) - HOU: No chance it will be WR So if the Bills wanted to trade back, there are only maybe 3 teams that could very well take a WR. NE at 34, LAC at 37, and maybe TEN at 38. So I think the Bills can maybe move back within the 30's still and feel good about still getting one of Franklin, Mitchell, McConkey, and Coleman if they like all 4 which they spent a lot of time with all 4. Then there is still possibly Tez Walker later they spent a lot of time with too. My guess, if Beane moves again it would probably be with Washington at 36 to say ahead of the Chargers. Only one team likely to take a WR between those picks (of course a team can always trade up too), but would assure us one of the 4 they have shown the most interest in. 2
LLCoolCy Posted April 26 Posted April 26 This is worded in a way that makes me think Buffalo is leaning to trade down a bit. (and to up the offers)

But if I were a betting man, then I would put $$$ on Franklin being #33. He may very well be the pick. But as for him always being "their guy" - he wasn't and isn't. "Their guy" to me implies someone that they love over others and had to have. It's clear with how they let WR needy teams have our picks to take WR's that they weren't worried which WR they took. 4 minutes ago, WhitewalkerInPhilly said: Do you have Franklin's?

But that was in comparison to Thomas, Legette, and Worthy - who I felt we'd have a shot at. We did and we passed on them. At this point, i'd take McConkey over anyone but AD Mitchell. For who's left, I'd be disappointed if we went WR at 33 and it wasn't Mitchell or McConkey. If it's Franklin or Coleman, I'd prefer another move down and would only be fully on board if Mitchell and McConkey were off the board.

I'm really hoping Beane can find a way to get both Mitchell and McConkey. I think if he trades out of #33, that won't happen. He would have to take one and trade up from #60 to try to get the other. It would probably cost a 2025 second. I've been higher on McConkey than most, I guess. I think he'd be a perfect player to complement Kincaid, and if you add a boundary X, the WR room goes from deficient to promising.

If an adult can’t manage his health, takes plays off and has been rumored to have attitude problems .. hard pass.

To be a bit optimistic both the Athletic and ESPN list Cortland Sutton as Colemans comp. All the sites I looked at have Coleman in the 7-10 range WR rankings so it wouldn't be a reach. I also expect the Bills to double dip at WR so a more twitchy player will also be added. Not saying it is my favorite WR idea but getting Coleman shouldn't be immediately dismissed as a bad pick.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Please no DeJean No Coleman I'd prefer we just trade back another 3-5 spots so that Beane can get enough ammunition to get back in to the 2nd round 3

Lost Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Bills only better be trading back if they are 100% certain no other team is going to go after the receiver they are targeting. Way to big a gamble and miss out and have to go into the season with maybe the worst WR group in the NFL.
