Keon Coleman is easily the most tape vs testing disconnect I’ve ever seen. The testing tells me he makes zero sense for Josh Allen. The guy has a cannon but doesn’t love throwing jump balls. Keon with T-Law would be disgusting. But then you watch tape and.. yes, he’s not running away from guys.. but he looks like a slam dunk RD1 WR.

Lots of Keon Coleman talk on Twitter and ESPN pre-draft. Louis Riddick gushing about him.

Keon Coleman at 33 would be extremely underwhelming. Bills type character guy who has incredibly questionable skills in terms of translating to the NFL. He looks like a monster “Mossing” college DB’s.. That’s a green flag but also massive red flag. Seems like an “ok” player. WR2 potential, but can he beat top corners … ehhh. No clue. …but if we take him, it screams “we took a swell guy”. Already exhausted by having to justify the pick to myself.

Not sure if there’s any reliability here, but..

Tangentially related to Deebo, as he's a different circumstance, but Greg Tompsett does think we have levers to pull (we'd have to pull a lot of them) but could get to where we need for Aiyuk without messing with Von's contract. Involves a bunch of restructures, including restructures of brand new contracts for Dawkins and Johnson.

I think Greg Thompsett showed where we can make it work for Aiyuk.

What in the world kind of Offense are we planning on running?

Just had one who said he wants to see us go, Center, Corner, Defensive Tackle tonight. I would commit seppuku.

I don't really see us trading for an expensive WR, but if we did this.. McConkey/Franklin plus Aiyuk added to Samuel and Shakir.. Well, I could confidently say that they FINALLY got Josh Allen a squad at WR. That group plus Mack Hollins at WR5 is way better than what we had last year.

I'm also hoping for another trade down from 33, as this pick is usually very coveted. However, Beane said last night that he had offers to move down into the 40's/50's, but thought it was too far back.. so that kind of limits our trade partners. Would love to move back a few spots again and pick up another 4th if possible.. then jump back into RD3 later and get 4 guys tonight.

By all accounts, this Draft is strong through 150 or so players and then drops off a cliff. 8 of our 10 picks are in the Top 160. From that standpoint, solid work in pick aggregation.. now need to put the picks to good use.

Thank you.. I literally DO NOT CARE if we go into the season with Rapp & Edwards at Safety. We had the top Safety duo in the NFL for years and all it seemed to do is shut down bad QB's and Lamar Jackson.

What's not to like about a CB who is apparently a Safety, but hasn't really played much Safety? Seems like a must have to me.

Maybe.. but for all the success the Chiefs have had, it's not due to WR evaluations. They've literally won in spite of that.

Your initial point is that fans have gone over the top about WR. They absolutely have not. That's a different conversation than what do we do now that we're in this situation.

People have not gone crazy. It's obvious. We have Curtis Samuel, Khalil Shakir and Mack Hollins. That's really it. Even with all the defensive injuries last year, we beat KC in the playoffs if we weren't down to a checked-out Diggs and Trent Sherfield as our two weapons spazzing out all game while Shakir was the only one doing anything. WR matters so, sooo much more than a starting Safety or some rotational DL. Nobody has gone crazy. We've seen this team neglect WR year in/year out, and we've now seen it bite us when it matters most two years in a row.

I could be convinced to send them Pick 60 for Aiyuk. Definitely not 33, let alone both. He's going to command 30M per year. No way I'm trading away heavy pick premium for the right to pay a dude all that.

He just had a visible reaction when asked about BTJ.. maybe I'm off, but that was the read people seemed to have. After the Big 3 and BTJ, they clearly had all the other WR's as RD2 grades or lower. The thought is that maybe we were in talks with Philly to get ahead of Jax but Philly wouldn't budge off demanding Pick 60. That's just people piecing things together who have heard things.

Bills clearly wanted Brian Thomas based on the vibes of Beane's Press Conference late last night. Not sure who else went before us that we would have wanted.

I hate the idea of trading with KC, but do like that we now have 3 picks tonight and 5 early Day 3 picks to attack the meat of this draft. WR is looking scary though.. Need to come away with a double dip, but aside from a trade for a vet WR.. they clearly have elevated Kincaid to the potential star of the passing game with a Green Bay type WR room. I wouldn’t count on Shakir, Samuel and two rookies to replace what Diggs gave us in his prime … but that also might not be needed. Still.. looking over at KC and I want to die: Pacheco Kelce Brown Rice Worthy They continue to invest for Mahomes… Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney haven’t worked out.. we’ll see if this group does.

Beane already mentioning he’s received calls about 33.

If X is correct, Beane is a comedian tonight

To be fair, he couldn’t make Hardman or Skyy Moore work. And Toney has been a disaster.

We move up from a 4th to a 3rd… if it was a straight up 3rd I’d be vibin

Broken down as an even trade. Can’t lie… I feel like you should make rivals pay a bit of a premium, not “fairsies” like we’re buddy buddy with them. Maybe we just wanted to get out and had zero desire to ever take Worthy but yeesh…
