Maybe nobody wants the Bills 5th round picks.

There are none that are going to make a difference except maybe small slot guy like Malik Washington.

4 picks coming up quickly.

Who did you think was BPA there?

I like that pick!

I’m guessing Jeremiah Trotter or Audric Estime

That’s right that it’s a steep price. I am very pleased that the Bills’ have resisted the temptation to trade 2025 picks.

I am guessing Miami traded up for Jalyn Wright from Tenn - they love speed.

I’ve heard rumors of bad interviews, but I think it’s also because he is light and doesn’t run a lot of routes. I read an anonymous scout who compared him the Jalen Hyatt, but slightly less explosive.

I think 1 or more of those 5ths will be used to move up in the 4th. 128 and the two late 5ths should get them first pick in terms of value. 128 plus 1 late 5th should get them to top 1/2 of the 4th. I don’t know who is available worth trading up for, though.

You’re right, but I will say that I was pretty public in my dislike of Franklin.

They do need speed and there isn’t a lot left unless they want to take a chance on Franklin or Walker. I’m not enamored with them, but in round 4 they are at least fast with some chance.

I hope that’s right. I’m rooting for him in spite of my critical posts about him. Heck, I hope he becomes one of my favorite players.

That’s a fair and balanced position. I was very disappointed last night in the pick. Not because the kid is an absolute zero as a player (he isn’t), but because at pick 33 I would have liked to get a player who has more quickness and route running skill. I wasn’t crazy about any of the WR after the big 3 and Thomas, but for sure I would have preferred Legette to Coleman. Coleman is young and sounds like a great kid and hard worker. He has great overall athletic ability and size, but I really worry about his ability to get open. In spite of my posts expressing disappointment, I am rooting for him to do great things. I just don’t know how high his ceiling is - my guess is Gabe Davis with much better hands and more flexibility/smoothness. If he can become a better route runner he may do better than that.

Solid pick in Bishop at a need position.

That is the best argument I have heard for Coleman. I admit that I’ve been way over the top in not liking the pick. I truly hope he turns into an all time great.

I’m not the biggest Franklin fan, but at 60 OK

Watch Kamren Kinchens - one of his college coaches is Bills’ DB coach.

I am not using straight line speed as the argument - it’s quickness and route running that I’m concerned about.

Is that the milestone?

I am hoping he is great. I just don’t see it. He is pretty young, maybe he can learn to run routes well enough to be productive.

It isn’t his 40 time. It’s ability to get open that is questionable.

Yes I have watched all the games I could find. Cooper Kupp is a route runner. Coleman is not - but he is young and maybe he can learn.

He can do everything - except get open. He is Gabe Davis with better hands and worse speed. Hopefully, he can really learn to run routes to get open. The big concern I have is the league is going speed, speed, speed and Bills grabbed basically a 3rd TE. He is a very dominant blocker, though!

Who love’s Coleman?
