Keon Coleman has been the most polarizing 1st round draft choice for Bills fans since Josh Allen. Not to that degree but more so than any of the 1st round player selections since Allen.

Josh probably wins you 1 1/12 to 2 more games a year over Cousins.

Some people are writing off Keon Coleman before training camp. 🙃

😂

Injuries, headcase and he wasn't committed.

The zone defenses he likes to primarily use are successful during the season but against Mahomes and Burrow they carve it up. I think eventually they need to do what some of the other top defenses do which is play a higher level of snaps of physical man coverage. Unfortunately we don't really have the personnel to do that, if Elam can become who the Bills thought he could be he could be an option but the other boundary guys are not man specialists.

I've read this anecdotally as well, that they are high on Ingram and that they believe that he can be a good replacement of Dane. The Bills have been good at turning prospects into good contributing players.

I've been scrolling through the comments and all I've been hearing is how "practice squad Ingram" has been winning against Coleman. I read just about all the articles from camp and nowhere did I see that the only thing I read which you just posted was that Coleman beat Ingram in one of the two reps. I thought maybe I had missed something.

Cam Lewis and Hardy are NB defenders, we are good in depth there. Where we don't have much depth are on the boundaries, we truly have only 3 tested players there and Ingram. All it takes is an injury and that spot is looking very worrisome. At the safety spot you have two tested players in Edwards and Rapp, Hamlin hasn't showed much and Bishop who I like a lot is still an untested rookie. The team likes to play with 3 safety alignments, so that's another position if you get an injury then that means Hamlin will be thrust into playing. That's another position where we lack depth.

Our outside boundary corners are Douglas, Benford, Elam and Ingram. Safeties are (R) Bishop, Rapp, Edwards and Hamlin. We are lacking depth at these positions, an injury or two and those position groupings are in trouble.

As everyone knows, there will soon be $10M available because of the Tre White release. What do you think the Bills should do with that money? Personally for me and I know this won't be a popular take among the most ardent WR proponents, I believe this team is lacking depth at safety and CB. I think the Bills should look to get another player that is borderline starting quality for both of those positions to compete for a starting spot or be in the every Sunday rotation. I could see the Bills look to get another quality rotational DT but aside from that, I think the Bills are set to go into this next coming season.

I honestly don’t know how he will turn out but there is something about him that seems too scripted and I just can’t help thinking of all those end of season failures he had when it mattered most. Idk, I don’t believe he is what many people think of being this sure fire All pro player. He could end being that guy, he certainly has phenomenal off-schedule QB abilities but I have my doubts.

Not surprised, Steff marches to the beat of his own drum. I'm sure he will be in shape, he's a professional. But wherever he goes, drama follows.

Also worth noting that he transferred to Florida state and didn't have hardly any time to acclimate himself to a new system and team and he still scored 11 TD's. Something else that I heard Josh say yesterday was that he characterized Coleman's first day as a player with good route running ability. He almost sounded a little surprised at how well he was running his routes.

I'm not going to speak this theory but to say that Buffalo has "criminally under prioritised" drafting WR's, I think lacks a lot of context. The Bills traded a first to get Stefon Diggs, The Bills used their first draft choice this year to select a WR and last year drafted Kincaid. Kincaid isn't a WR but he's not a traditional TE either, he's quasi WR and TE. The year before that drafted a weapon in Cook who is a good receiving option. The Bills have been decent with their mid round WR picks, Gabe and Shakir look to be very big successes relative to their draft position. Personally, I would have liked for them to select more WR weapons over the past couple years but the Bills have been right there in the hunt and have come very close to making Super Bowls. It was clear that the Bills needed to get more pressure on Mahomes and they swung for the fences and struck out with the Vonn injury. Very good chance that if he hadn't gotten injured that the Bills may have made a SB. The WR room right now hinges a lot on Coleman's success, if he ends up becoming the WR that the Bills hope for then this WR room begins to look a whole lot nicer, specially when you take Kincaid into account. Even if Coleman doesn't do well, I still think that under Brady's offense which I expect to be much more possession-like football, that the Allen will take a leap this year and make the easier passes like he did against the Chiefs in the playoffs. Allen was making all the right choices right up until the very end, which I believe he will learn from that. And I think learning from that is going to play perfectly into what sort of offense they will run this year. Maybe Kincaid will turn into an ALL PRO TE. That isn't without the realm, I think there was enough that we saw out of him this past year to at least be optimistic of how high his ceiling could reach.

You know what the Chiefs and Patriots, arguably the two most dominant football dynasties of the 2000's have had in common? They won most of their championships without top tier WR's. The Patriots best wideouts in their Superbowl dynasty wins was probably Julian Edelman. What followed him was very meh, but they did have a great tight end in Gronk. The Chiefs, aside from the one year they had Tyreek, the past two Super bowls was JuJu Smith and a rookie Rasheed Rice. They also have had a not too shabby TE in Kelce. This clearly proves that it's not necessary to have dominant receivers to win. You just need smart, heady guys who can make catches and to have a bigtime elite QB who can make the right decisions when it counts most.

Not to mention he had a TD catch in the Superbowl. No doubt his season was mired with drops but when it mattered he came through for them.

MVS was/is my top realistic FA WR pickup for this offseason. I’ve been wrong before but I highly doubt the Bills will look to get themselves back into the cap situation they were in when they had Diggs. This is a reset year and the valuable resources will be bet on youth. MVS is the money ball play, he would be cheap would fill a need in stretching defenses vertically and he checks the boxes in terms of value. He would instantly be the #4 WR in the team. I hope they get him. Then the last major area they would need to address is the safety, right now there are only 3 viable safeties on the team, need to get another border line starting quality safety added to the roster.

He was effective in the playoffs

Last year it was Bernard, Spencer Brown, Oliver, Cook and Shakir especially towards the end of the season. There are so many Bills players that are at that age or stage in the careers where we could see that jump. As noted by the OP, if Shakir can take another leap that will go a long way in helping this team. If Milano can come back to form or Von Miller. Elam, Kincaid, Torrence, Rousseau and Epenesa are all players who could be primed to have a jump in production.

He just plucks those passes out of the air so effortlessly. Thats a great trait to have at the WR spot

This is just tantalizing

Virtually 0 risk vs. low to mid potential of reward I'm good with it.

I think Dez Bryant is another good comp. Also, more data to show his game day speed

The more I see and read about Davis the more stoked I am to have him on this team. He has enough speed to break big runs, he has really good vision, his feet and quickness are exceptional is able to make great cuts and the way he runs has elements of Isiah Pacheco in that he relishes contact and is able to effectively break tackles and fall forward. The guy is 5’9 nearly 220 lbs, he’s going to be very tough to bring down on a 1 v 1 if you have that got-to-have 1 yard run. Plus he’s an excellent receiver from the backfield and instantly becomes the best blocking RB on the roster. His addition instantly upgrades the offense and shows the continued commitment that Brady wants. He’s going to get a lot of playing time, I suspect early on he will be the #2 back and I could actually see him getting as many carries and touches as Cook by the end of the season.
