Does it make Bills fans feel worse about the Coleman pick knowing that the Team that highly drafted N'Keal Harry and Tyquan Thorton wanted him?

Brandon Beane:

Claypool... I don't hate it. He's the living embodiment of low risk / high reward. He has every physical tool to succeed, he just needs to put in the effort. I doubt that this is his wake up call, but if it is he'll be home run. I still want a more "sure thing" roster lock, but this is excellent competition or at the very worst, practice squad depth.

Considering Miami is going to be under water in ~20 years, I don't know that he made a wise decision.

It didn't help that he picked the opposite option route that Allen was looking for so consistently. That might have been the single most frustrating part of his game to me. Remember that time Allen got called for grounding because Davis chose the wrong route? Has that ever even happened to any other QB in the modern NFL?

I don't think that unrealistic at all, honestly. Allen has had MVP buzz ever since 2020. Last season he didn't get it due to turnovers. I expect his TOs to drop now that Gabe Davis isn't on the team and Coleman is. 10-12 wins is where they've been right around every season since 2020. The last two playoff matchups against the Chiefs has gone to the wire. They're not significantly better than us, despite what the agitated fanbase here is going to tell you.

- Bills go 12-5, Allen gets a MVP because the narrative is that they took away his weapons and they still were very successful. - Aaron Rodgers breaks down (physically, but probably mentally too), Jets win 7 games. - The Patriots get a Wildcard spot - Miami falls apart as the offense is found out, but they continue to beat up on bad teams. Tua is still signed to a 45+ Million a year contract. - Bills get to the AFC championship, beating the Chiefs in the divisional round.

I went with Coleman, and I went with him solely because I think Kincaid and Knox are going to split way more time then anyone on this board is thinking.

I was told in the Keon Coleman thread that Beane should be fired for listening to Allen because he wasn't a scout though...

I think you can get similar production to what you'd expect from Jones with cheaper players that are already on the roster. If we need someone to jump out of a window naked though then he's our guy.

I seriously doubt anyone would be worried about this if we had drafted BTJ instead of Coleman. If there were "tell all" analytics that could be used to accurately predict NFL success then we wouldn't have debates about who is the better prospect.

You don’t want your all star QB to give feedback on what receivers he thinks would make him the most successful? You think it’s so bad, in fact, that the GM should be fired for listening to his most valuable asset? Sorry, I just don’t see the logic.

This is where I'm at with the pick. It seems like Allen had a lot of influence on who he thought would fit best into this new Brady offense, so I'm going to defer to him and trust that they've made a good decision. Time will tell but I can't pretend to know better than Josh freakin' Allen about WRs.

I thought 3.49 was the over/under on how many plates he got at the Golden Corral.

I think we'd all be sleeping a little easier if we got Josh another weapon, which I have to imagine they'll be evaluating post June 1 when they have some more cap available. It's not as dire as the OP is making it out to be. Coleman is a big unknown, but it's the guy Allen thought could best help him, so you've got to trust him on that.
