    Coleman has some of the best hands in the class IMO (not THE best, but he's up there) and certainly much better hands than Franklin. The separation is the big concern with Coleman. As I said, very young and inexperienced; you have to hope you can teach him how to generate separation much more consistently than he did in college. He's still figuring things out but could help us immediately in terms of giving you someone to throw to where he's "open when he's covered".

     

    When I watch him he looks like he has strong hands. But then under 60% catch percentage is puzzling.

    As someone that has Coleman in the conversation with Franklin for the #5 WR in the draft IMO, Coleman has a lot of red flags. Whoever takes him is gambling on him being a Josh Allen-esq outlier. I am bullish though. Very young, very inexperienced (split time between football and basketball up until the past two years), has the size, elusiveness, and hand-eye coordination that can't be taught and seemingly has the motor to make the most of his gifts.

     

    My biggest concern about Coleman is his 57% catch percentage. Not that worried about the long speed, as his first 10 yards is quicker than the likes of Jefferson and Chase...

     

    But I want a wr that can catch the ball! That's why I'm kind of thinking Beane has Franklin in his sights... I think Franklin can add upper body strength and weight and get to 190lbs... 

     

    I've also been higher on AD Mitchell than you have all along, but have some recent concerns about his attitude and the way he doesn't always take care of the diabetes. (Of course that could be a smoke screen).

    You can say that again!

    Having been raised in the Jewish faith this name never fails to crack me up.  "Adonai" is Hebrew for "God" and religious Jews are so careful of observing the commandment of not taking God's name in vain, they actually won't say this word unless engaged in formal prayer.  In other cases they substitute the word Hashem which means "the name."

     

    I can't wait until he catches a Hail Mary pass.

     

    OJ Simpson, not a Jew.

    Well, just my opinion.

     

    I think it is Josh Allen's time to take over the reigns of this team and to me, he doesn't need elite weapons. He simply needs receivers who can hang onto the balls most importantly.

     

    Also of importance is being able to fill out the roster. The Bills need depth at almost every position, with starting potential, and the best way to do that is to trade down and acquire multiple picks, ala what SF did in the 1986 draft (look up that draft to see what I mean).

     

    Beane's a big baller though and I wouldn't be surprised if he is in love with getting his hands on Nabers, MHJ or Odunze for Josh Allen. 

     

    The SF 1986 draft. Had to look that up. They traded back to 39 and took a DE that flamed out. Then had 12 more picks. One of which became HOF DE Charles Haley, they're second DE selected, at 96.

     

    In all, they selected two CB's that started for a decade. They're #2 wr Jon Taylor... A LT that started for a decade. A third DE in addition to Haley that started for a number of years. And Tom Rathman...

     

    Like us, they had their franchise QB. But they also already had Jerry Rice...

     

    Flip DE and WR--trade back and take 3 cracks at finding two legitimate starting wr's?

     

    And then hope to find four more decades long starters? Sign me up! Easier said than done though.

    given Burton's issues...I would be stunned if we drafted him 

     

    I don't know about all that. The big "incident" that gets cited is where he supposedly hit a woman. But if you watch the tape, the opposing student body storms the field. And someone gets in his face talking smack and he pushes her away. He definitely didn't punch her.

    Simms loves to be a contrarian... But Thomas is my wr 4, and there's enough distance between him and my #5 (Mitchell) that I'd trade up for him...

     

    I also really like the idea of pairing a proven receiver (Aiyuk) with 1-2 guys in this draft class...

     

    I'll also say this, there's absolutely no one right way for Beane to address wr. There's probably a dozen or more ways to do a good job. And a handful of ways to blow it. 

     

    Lots of exciting possibilities, imo... I could see Beane pairing Coleman and Burton, or Legette and Baker.

    Someone on youtube put all the plays of Kincaid and Cook.  The change is how these two got the ball was pretty evident when Brady took over.  Tons of RPO and quick strike.  In saying that, I just dont see how some of these guys fit into that offense.  I just see guys like Ladd and Lagette as the best fits.  I dont see a guy like Brian Thomas even being that good of a fit TBH.  I think he is being used as a smoke screen.  I almost wonder if the Bills would have Worthy over him.

     

    Except the Bills literally had no deep threats for Brady to scheme with. Brian Thomas would give the offense the added dimension of a big bodied flyer on the outside that kills downfield.
