    Keon Coleman: Josh Allen texted me “You’re the guy I want”

    I live in Cincinnati and Joe Burrow literally spent months publicly advocating for the Bengal's to draft Chase.  How did that work out for the Bengals.

     

     

    I came in here to post the exact thing, almost word for word. Except, technically, I live in Springfield Township. And to be fair, the Bengals may have been better off with Penei Sewell but that is another conversation all together.

    Tony Dungy says Keon is the best player selected in the 2nd round, actually when I look outside of Bills fans there seems to be plenty of love for this kid.

     

     We shall see.

    I think that the majority of the negativity is from the posters on this board. We spent A LOT of time "scouting" WRs since the season ended. We came to a consensus that if Odunze and Thomas Jr. were not possibilities, then it had to be Mitchell. So, when the Bills went in another direction we had all decided that this was a mistake weeks before the draft. The reaction is predictable. The last time we "scouted" this hard was in 2018; the reaction was even stronger.

    There seems to be a trend appearing. I think the Bills might care more about how fast you play football  than what your 40 time is. Just a hunch, but there might be something to it.   

     

     

    .

    Because they have that GPS data now, so they don't have to depend on 40 times and the eye test.

    I mean it’s still one receiver in 7 years first two days.

    Kincaid was the best pass catcher on the board when the Bills drafted last year. I think the distinction between playmaking positions is breaking down in the NFL. I know you hate basketball, but this happened in that sport about a decade ago. Now you have the PG, the C, and a bunch of 6-8 to 6-10 swingmen that can all shoot. Everyone can score from everywhere. I think this is how Joe Brady wants to play. I hope he knows what he’s doing.

    I am 100 and I mean 100% sure it would be the former. I have done the pick by pick anaylsis of the Panthers drafts during Beane's decade in senior front office positions. 3 receivers in the first two days in 10 years. Over a dozen DL in the same period. It is who he is. It is how he learned. It is what he believes in.

    If that’s what he believes in, then he’s gone against his own beliefs in the last two drafts.

    The problem is that if Josh appears to take a step back due to no Diggs, then we become the freezing small-market Bills and FAs won’t want to come play with a declining Josh Allen. The nRams can rebuild without taking a reputation hit. The Bills cannot. 

    I don’t even agree with myself anymore here. He meant a transition in leadership. I just had a hot take. But Beane sometimes speaks before he thinks.

    The Coleman hate is ridiculous but folks let their screens think for them so as soon as ESPN/social media decided trading with KC and them getting Worthy was a huge mistake they did too. 
     

    This was an excellent draft top to bottom. Coleman, Bishop, Davis, and SVP will all play and play a lot over the next few years.
     

    I’ve been a Bills fan since 1991 even tho I’ve spent my entire life living in Ga. Love my Bills but can’t stand our message board fans. Every year I come here to check the pulse during/after the draft and every year it’s the same nonsense.
     

    In a perfect world we land another WR (Franklin later as he continued to fall would’ve been my pick) but we had A LOT of needs  

    It’s because people spend too much time “scouting” before the draft and, unlike actual NFL GMs, get attached to specific players. As I noted, Coleman was on the list of guys that we discussed back when this process started. We just chose differently in our collective mocks so it feels like a mistake. It’s really just online groupthink. But my favorite are the guys who claim that Josh Allen is about to demand a trade because we don’t give him enough weapons. He, for two years in a row, has had input into the selection of two pass catchers that were choosen with the Bills first pick. If it doesn’t  work out it’s at least partially his fault. Also, good on ya for staying aboard after that early 90’s bandwagon crashed into a brick wall.

    Sit back and think about how few players are still in this team compared with the roster that broke out in 2020. Josh, Dawkins and Knox on offence. Milano, Oliver and Teton Johnson on D. That’s massive turnover. But if you look at the Chiefs, it’s even more drastic. It’s kind of Mahomes, Kelce and Clark and a bunch of moving pieces. You have to always be in transition and the Bills mistake was not taking this step a year ago. That being said, Id love to have Diggs back but I know I’m on an island with that opinion.

    I guess my thing is that Josh’s most successful season (2020) was with Cole Beasley playing at his best. We had the chance to duplicate that with McConkey and we didn’t do it. 

    Shakir, Coleman, and Samuel all have the trait that made Cole so effective and that is good hands with a good catch radius. But I did want Ladd going into last night and seeing him go the very next pick stung a bit.

    The Bills spent their first pick in the draft on a WR and let Josh Allen have a say in the choice. How would that make him frustrated? I think he got tired of the drops and wanted a guy with good hands. I would have taken Mitchell, but then again I don’t have to coach or play with the guy.

     

    This has been a process for me. Before the season ended, I wanted Coleman or Leggett because I wanted a big guy who catches almost the balls thrown his way. Then I started listening to you people, and I became a big Franklin guy. I was the all hyped for Worthy after the combine, but then I reconsidered. He almost certainly worked with track coaches for a month to get that time. It’s all in the start. I think it’s very telling that he declined doing any other drills. That’s because he didn’t train for them. When you watch him play, he’s fast but not Tyreek fast and he drops balls. So then, I was and still am a Ladd guy. But I guess I can’t complain because if you had told me back in January that the Bills would have drafted Coleman I would have been very happy. So I choose to be hopeful. At the very least he should go a long way in solving the red zone problems.

    How?  Lol Kincaid appears to be very good and Coleman hasn’t played a down in the nfl yet 

     

    they literally got josh the wr he asked for and fans  think because we didnt draft the wr they wanted we’re failing josh 😂 

    Because some of the posters on this board scouted WRs this winter like it was a part-time job, they formed very strong opinions. Then the Bills went and picked the guy that TBD groupthink eliminated from their board while passing on the consensus TBD pick in AD MItchell. I mean, TBD tried to draft Mitchell three times in our group mocks. I think that the reason that the Bills thought differently was because they actually interviewed the guys. Also, fans wanted two WRs high because WRs are the most fun position to watch. That being said, we lost Diggs and didn't replace him. We don't have an elite route runner on the roster.
