Keon COLEman, COLE Bishop, I see a pattern....

No Keon in Persian means King and Bishop, well, Beane is playing chess. Look for Pawn Harris or James Knight to be next pick.

Why did the Bills do all that work on Franklin and then not take him?

Just to piss off bills fans🤷

Bishop is a good pick. We’ll regret taking Coleman over Troy Franklin though. 

 

We're approaching him falling to Round 3. I've been saying posters have been overhyping him all offseason and the way this is playing out is proving it.

Love this pick. Really impressive at Senior Bowl and the Combine.

@_@; they do a lot of work on a lot of players they don't take.. advocating that they just don't bother to 'do work' on players they might draft is certainly a bold proposition.

I expected the Bills to likely draft a safety at this pick.   Cole Bishop is a great pick.  Yes...I want them to double dip at WR, but to me their two biggest needs were WR and S in that order.  They got great value at both picks.  Instant contributors.  Bishop will knock Worthy back to Texas!

Like the pick, had him here in my simulator mocks.

Can he also slide into nickel if Taron gets injured?

My dog's name is Cole, but not after Cole Beasley. 🤣

It’s clear the Bills pulled a fast one on everyone and said we are going to get bigger and more physical. Kincaid worked against Bishop everyday in practice and I’m sure Beane picked his brain about him. 
 

One thing I can say about the Utah program is they are tough disciplined and smart

Idk, I live down here, he really isn't bad at all, just not a burner. He's kind of like JA in a lot of ways: big, athletic, hurdles defenders, hard to bring down. I really dont think the Kelvin Benjamin comps on here are fair, but I hated the JA pick and it took until the Vikings game to change my opinion. He could be the best WR we've ever had, or he'll be just good enough and nothing special.

Why did the general draft thread get locked? Because someone incorrectly tipped the Bills pick?

These guys love locking threads👍

The PFF guys didn't like it - they gave him a poor grade in their system

[Fixxxer]

I like his agressiveness and reaction to the ball. 

 

Welcome to Buffalo!! Go Bills!!

Did @SDS forget we have a third round pick? Why did the draft topic get closed?

I close it for a few minutes to get everyone to comment about our pic in the right topic. This isn’t a group of Norman Einsteins.

Everyone that has taken a WR has taken another one over Franklin also. Will they all regret it too?

Everyone except Marvin Harrison and Rome Odunze. 
 

Franklin will be a Desean Jackson level talent in the NFL. 
 

The bigger issue is also the Coleman will not have the career of a Mitchell or McConkey either.
