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

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by BuffaloBillsGospel2014

    This might have been stated already somewhere but there are like 40 pages . I just heard that Keon Coleman is the 1st rookie WR to reach out to Andre Reed. That's pretty awesome and smart trying to get as many football minds to help you especially hall of famers is never a bad thing.

    What's the point of this team's philosophy?

    You have a QB that's a Maserati. He's built for bombs away. But instead of building your offense for that, you build it for plodding, 10 yards at a time max, 10 minute drive offense. So I ask, what is the point?

     

    What's the point of having a guy who's designed by nature to bomb the football deep and whose weakness is dink and dunk stuck in an offensive scheme that is built to do just that?

     

    Why not offload him for someone who's better suited for that kind of thing if you refuse to play to his strengths? That's what I can't wrap my head around. It makes no sense.

     

    I hear where you're coming from and like others have stated I just don't think that type of play is sustainable especially in NY with the crappy weather. We have a plethora of weapons for Allen of all shapes and sizes but I think it's wise to get it in the playmakers hands and let them do the work. It's also not like we have nobody that will be running deep, if you look at Shakirs stats he had 10 targets of 20+ yards and 2 targets of 40+ yards which is identical to Stefon Diggs https://www.rotowire.com/football/player/khalil-shakir-15892 , it doesn't however tell me how many were caught by each but that's a good sign. Also if you look at Curtis Samuel under Joe Brady as OC in 2019/2020, Samuel had 8 targets of 20+ and 1 target of 40+, 12 of 20+ the following year and 2 of 40+ with nobody nearly as talented as Josh so I think the deep ball will still be there but wont be relied upon as much which isn't a terrible thing.

     

    Josh Allen is suited for all types of throws not just backyard ball which alot of people call it and hopefully it leads to the best season of his career but I het the fact why people are upset and can't fault them for it. I'm hoping this isn't a wasted year like some are predicting, I'm hoping having a bunch of different guys to throw to instead of force feeding it to 1 guy makes the difference but we shall see.

    Rd 6, Pick 219: CB Daequan Hardy, Penn State

    My favorite Bills CB of all time is Antoine Winfield, the guy was a heat seeking missle and was only 5'9", Hardy isn't of the same mold but I like what he shows in the videos and like the 3rd game in shows him playing in snow which is great to see. He should be a solid special teamer and a good backup for Taron Johnson (hopefully).

    Not only was that fun to watch, but there was a LOT of Carter hitting Drake Maye and separating him from the ball. I would like to make that a special tradition.   😋

     

    I saw that also, he's already acclimated to destroying the newest member of the Patriots, well played Beane, well played.

    Rd 4, Pick 128: RB Ray Davis, Kentucky

    I have been reading up on the back story of Davis and I will 100% be rooting for this kid. If he does well I can see him in a Fred ex type of fan favorite.... Was homeless on several occassions before going through the foster care, his school teacher let him stay with her until he could move in with his grandparents. This kid has been knocked down several times and still made it to the top of the mountain, that's very impressive.

    Beane: "This team is in transition"

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    For me I felt both Jordan Poyer/Micah Hyde both looked and played old, injuries and age have caught up to them so they'll be replaced by Edwards/Rapp/Bishop (2 out of the 3), I feel like we lose experience but gain athletic ability plus Edwards/Rapp just came from SB winning teams. Most on here were clamoring that we need a much better #2 WR than Gabe Davis who I think they replaced him with Keon Coleman ( with the possibility of being the #1 WR).  Where we are in dire need is at WR 1 where we just lost a top 10 WR in the NFL so it's going to be felt no matter what unless we trade for a top notch WR 1 which Beane said was not happening but he says alot of things.

    I feel like we added to the DL and pass rush with the additions today, we added OL depth and possible starter either at G or C in Granger. Again I know I'm seeming like the Bills did everything wonderfully but I believe the RB room has even more competition with the Davis addition, the dude just seeks out people to hit. I'm not saying everything is A ok over here but i don't think the sky is falling nearly as bad as some but again I get it if you thing it is so I can't hate on you either.

    Logic's Buffalo Bills Draft Review -- The more things change, the more they stay the same

    The OP, and many of the folks who are contributing to this thread, begin by conceding that it was a solid draft. That's stipulated at the beginning. Did you read it, because your response is addressed to those who assert something else? And I don't see an abundance of negative emojis . . . 

     

    I wasn't just responding to the OP, there are many posters on here who clearly hated the draft. Did you not read my response?

    I can understand those that think this draft was meh or a disaster, we didn't even take 2 WR's in an offseason where we lost both our #1 and #2 guys. For me though I feel like we added competition just about everywhere and some starters as well. WR Keon Coleman will 100% be fighting for a starting role in some capacity whether thats outside or inside. S Cole Bishop imo will take over the role of Jordan Poyer I believe, maybe not right off the bat but I wouldn't doubt it since this kid's instincts are just awesome. Dewayne Carter is more of a backup to Ed Oliver as he had over 1200 snaps in the 3 tech but he did have 250+ snaps in 3 years as the 1 tech also so I'm interested to see where they think he'll fit but he'll be part of the rotation. Some wanted more competition at RB and we added thumper Ray Davis coming off a 21 total TD season. Both Van Pran-Granger and Grable should add solid depth along the OL, The International OT is almost definitely a practice squad candidate but I always liked when teams took fliers on those types so I'm excited for him.Solomon is a pass rush specialist so learning under Miller will be excellent for him. 

     

    I know all of this is a little too positive or optimistic for some right now so I totally understand all the puke/thumbs down and dislike emojis I'm about to receive but to me this draft was about fielding a competitive roster and I think Beane added guys who could easily bring out the competition level at some of the positions. I'm hoping we incorporate more passes out of the backfield, more bubble screens that go for actual yardage instead of everyone knowing Diggs is going to get the ball. I think we'll definitely pick up a veteran WR along the way but I have to believe Beane when he says a"A big trade isn't coming" so I'll be keeping an eye out post June 1st.

    I truly don't feel like he values WRs. I kno I know we got Coleman, but we aren't any better than we were before the pick and in all honesty we won't be better if he gets another one in this draft. Throw a dart basically. Everyone who pays any attention to this team knows that the game plan is basically "Josh, make something happen". It freekin blows my mind that Josh never gets MVP when I truly don't believe there is another team out there that places so much on one guy. Ok rant over. 

    And a 4th round WR was going to put us over?
