Was at the game on Sunday, and Shakir was definitely limping around by the end. Not surprised he’s on the injury report, hopefully he can push through whatever it is, given he was able to finish the game against Miami.
Josh texted Keon “you’re the guy that I want”. Beane also said Josh loves the draft process, and asked him to watch film w coaches and comment on how he would utilize each guy. Coleman stuck out as one of the guys Josh admired.
Not saying the scouts didn’t vet Coleman. More saying the scouts may have ranked a few guys as early second rounders. And then considered Josh’s opinions before deciding Keon would be the pick.
If Allen said he really wanted McConkey after reviewing the tapes, or Worthy for that matter, that’s who Beane would have gotten for Josh. After trading Diggs, there would have been a lot of pressure to make Josh happy and take his input.
Allen was involved in the process and texted Keon that he was the guy he wanted. That’s why people keep saying this.
