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

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    The pick is slowly growing on me, especially with some of the vision of how I expect the offense to function going in.

     

    For a little while now I've been envisioning a TE first passing attack, supplemented by the run game.

     

    We have some great YAC guys in Shakir and Samuel. In fact, Shakir is scarily close to Diggs in height and weight, and the strength of both is their route running. Down the stretch Shakir was the more reliable target.

     

    The thing the team DIDN'T have was the 'Power Forward '. I can't preach "I don't care about track speed, I want game speed" with my dislike of Worthy and Legette and then poo poo someone with the fastest gauntlet split. I watch Coleman's returns and what I see isn't game breaking speed, it's vision and the ability to cut to hit a lane. I care about that more.

     

    Am I skeptical? Yes. Would I have preferred Odunze or BTJ? Hell yes. But that would have come at the cost of having no backup plan for a bunch of aging vets. I*like* Da'Quan and AJ and Douglas. They are unlikely to be on the team in 2 seasons. This is the time to get younger and build another window 

     

    I can see a plan for the offense. I might not have gone the same choices, but I can see Brady moving to his own thing

    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.

    I'm happy Josh likes him

    Everyone relax. National media is much higher than our fans.

    plus the Pats were trying to get him and the Bills snipped them (they traded down after)

     

    It seems that actual scouts like the pick, just not draftniks.

     

    I cannot in good conscience say "Oh Troy Franklin plays faster than his 40 time, I care about game speed more than how a guy looks in shorts" and then automatically dismiss someone built like a tank when Shakir and Samuel are shifty YAC

    *deep breath*

     

    He's the last guy in the group I had for the top of the second. But if you are talking about purely complementary skills, it's hard to say that he isn't the power forward to the point and shooting guard of Samuel and Shakir 

     

    I can see the logic.

     

    I don't AGREE with the logic, but if Mitchell has character concerns he has the highest ceiling to be a number 1.

    You draft safetys late, not at #33 when you NEED a WR.

    Ahh yes, who can forget the late round value of Damar Hamlin, Cam Lewis, Duke Williams, Jonathan Meeks and Da,Norris Seacry.

     

    Safety is luxury pick right until the moment your CBs suddenly have zero help.

    I'm ready to be booed:

     

    Take Cooper DeJean at 33.

     

    Our safety group, while less important than our WRs, is in terrible shape. DeJean would almost for sure start immediately and in a pinch could be kicked back outside to replace Douglas in a year.

     

    I WANT WR more, but with the assets in play I am considerably more confident that Beane can move up to the top of the 2nd and get someone I would have been fine with us taking at 28 (Franklin, McConkey and AD Mitchell all qualify for me)
