I feel the same way. I can’t believe the scouts thought this was the best we could do.

Keon Coleman is a total bust as a top WR. As a big FSU fan, I’ve watched almost every snap this guy played. I just can’t believe the Bills organization gave up Pearsall or Legette to settle for Keon. I’m blown away the scouting department could be so off. Just terrible asset management.

I've got to put it down on record so I'm going to post here.
Despite trying to get optimistic about the Keon Coleman pick, I've gotta go with my gut and how I felt about him prior to the Bills selecting him. I don't think he'll end up being a good WR in the NFL. I hope I'm wrong, and maybe I will be. Maybe his opportunity in Buffalo coupled with getting to play with a great QB will help him tip the scales and he'll become a productive WR for the Bills.........but I'm just not optimistic at all.
Listen to any of the smarter guys who breakdown these prospects, whether its Greg Cosell, Matt Harmon of reception perception, or most of the guys over at PFF and they don't like the prospect. Now does that Mena they'll be right? No it doesnt, but there is a lot of evidence that guys like Keon Coleman don't pan out in the NFL.
After watching everyone of his targets this past season I cam away very underwhelmed. I didn't see a guy worth of the #33 pick. I don't think he catches the ball particularly well in traffic and for a guy that's not fast and will be covered a lot that's concerning. I also saw blvery little burst. On a lot of his receptions near the line fo scrimmage he was easily tackled by the defense and showed very little wiggle or ability to hit it north/south quickly.
I'm very curious what thr plan will be for Coleman because guys like Matt Harmon thought any chance he'd have at success would be with a move to the slot. Similar to how Marques Colston played for the Saints.. But it seems the Bils think hes an X receiver.
Time shall tell, hope I'm wrong
This is the boat I’m in. I hope I’m wrong, but I feel the Bills flubbed this pick big time and got essentially another N’Keal Harry.
When you have a guy like Ladd McConkey there, you have to make that pick. I find it maddening the Bills whiffed so hard on this selection.

Not taking Ladd McConkey here will haunt the franchise for a good bit. What a whiff by Beane and Co.

It COULD fail miserably... but I'm willing to risk bringing Belichick in here. The chances of him winning a SB with Allen are higher than with the current staff
Without Brady, Bill has been a mere mortal.

The vast majority of winners have valid reasons for losing. They just find a way to overcome those obstacles.
You think KC couldn’t point to their injures or the fact that their WR corps has been poor this season as excuses for losing? Except they don’t need to because they found a way to win anyway.
There are degrees to it. The Bills D was in shambles. Vince Lombardi and Bill Belichick were not going to win coaching that game.

So far Beane is the last guy I want picking receivers. He’s drafted one good one, Shakir. The only other success was Diggs, at a cost of a 1st round pick and a huge contract from day 1.
If this Hamler signing is a way of address an issue, then he better have more up his sleeve.
And the pick he traded away was Justin Jefferson.

Baltimore will thoroughly destroy KC. That will be a pleasure to watch.
Chefs selected our guy, McDuffie. Turnabout is fair play. We desperately need WR, as does KC. This draft is loaded at WR. The Bills should be able to draft a higher graded WR prospect than KC.
Now it’s time to study the draft and FA, and go back to enjoying our much less stressful Sundays!
Also, don’t forget, KC traded in front of us for McDuffie. Who is to say they won’t do it again?

Jahan Dotson has real talent also.

So here starts the Mahomes is the best qb in the league talk again…. On what basis cause he’s won a few Super Bowls and Allen hasn’t… So what pound for pound eye test to eye test Allen is better and I’m not just saying that cause I’m a Bills fan… Allen is bigger stronger faster runs people over stronger arm did I leave anything out… Awe man I hope Allen puts the smack down Sunday night and shut all these *** holes up for once
“Allen is bigger stronger faster runs people over stronger arm did I leave anything out…”
Based on this statement, Cam Newton was the best QB in the league in his prime.

Can Kaiir Elam play WR? He ran a 4.39 at the combine, and was an excellent WR in high school.

He’s doing it without Reggie White in front of him too like Seth had.

Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by UmbrellaMan
“Keon Coleman (WR – Florida State)
Most similar players: Collin Johnson (0.900), Isaiah Hodgins (0.895), Auden Tate (0.883)
In college, Keon Coleman was a Sportscenter Top 10 play waiting to happen. The issue, as you may notice in those clips, is Coleman’s lack of ability to create separation. According to PFF, Coleman’s separation against single coverage last year ranked 449th out of 450 qualifying players — not great, Bob. Furthermore, when looking at Coleman’s charted stats he falls short in a lot of areas (photo via Reception Perception):
After transferring from Michigan State to Florida State for his final season, Coleman led the Seminoles in receiving yards while his targets per route run rose slightly from 22.9% to 24.9%. Also, despite running a 4.61-second 40-yard dash at the combine, Coleman reached a top speed of 20.36 miles per hour during the gauntlet drill, the fastest speed by any receiver over the last two seasons. Whether or not I like Coleman’s profile is a complex battle between my head (his production and efficiency are poor) and my heart (the dude can ball), so I think landing spot and development will matter slightly more than some of the other receivers.”

The pick was a total disappointment with McConkey right there. Non-WRs like Dejean or Newton would have been better selections than taking a player with so much bust risk. I’m still vexed at how the Bills scouting department thought THIS was their guy.
The primary skill a NFL WR needs is the ability to get open (earn targets). Catching the ball is secondary. Catching the ball is akin to shooting free throws in basketball. There are many gym rats at the ymca who can do it better than NBA players. The skill is earning the free throws.
