2024 WR Draft Class

Coleman is definitely a sleeper pick.  He’s being a bit overlooked due to being a “go up and get it” receiver.  He was one of the better WRs in the country last year and could end up being one of the top WR in the draft when it’s all said and done.

 

Coleman is only slept on in this thread and on this board.

 

He's almost always the 5th Ranked WR by media prognosticators. If you watch the Combine, NFL Network has him as the 4th - above Brian Thomas Jr.

Coleman may be a great player. I think he’s a nice prospect. But he isn’t going to demand teams get out of man coverage. 

 

I feel the exact opposite. Zone coverage is where I think he could struggle at first, but we have other zone beaters on the roster. I want a WR that can win in 1v1 coverage because as of right now we don't have that player on the roster (unless Diggs returns to form). Coleman is physically dominant at the catch point and wins on vertical routes. That is a great skill set against 1v1 coverage. He can also eat defenses alive on quick slants if they want to live in man. In the red zone he is an automatic mismatch in man.

 

I still have Troy Franklin as my #1 realistic option for the Bills because I agree quick separation and speed at all levels of the field is the most valuable skill set a WR can have. If he's gone however I don't see another realistically available WR that has that skill set. So of the other available skill sets Coleman's intrigues me the most and I think it would be the best fit with Josh Allen. Also his ceiling is sky high, even higher than Franklin's IMO.

Yeah, he's got great hands and plays big in big games. Cosell really likes him. We're going to have to trade up from #28 to get him.

I'll blow a gasket if the Chiefs trade up ahead of us and grab him.

I think the Mike Williams contested-catch type is not the type to bank on, personally. Give me a guy that demands safety rotations. That can turn the corner on jet sweeps and dump offs and WR screens, and can take it 50 yards if the rest of the defense has their back turned to them.

 

A serious RAC weapon is going to transform the offense and turn the rest of the offense into pitch and catch.

with Cosell being so high on him, his production in big games, now the speed, only 21 years old, 39.5 vertical, 11.4 broad

 

perhaps he’s #1 on our list  (among realistic targets)

WRs are running their 40s now. Finally. We can now throw out all of the film evaluation and simply rank WRs by their 40 time.

It's really just a handful of guys though that need the 40 to kinda match their game tape. So far, Mitchell and Coleman were 2 of them and one increased money and the other lost money.

Legit worst case scenario. If they trade Sneed they'll have more than enough ammo to do so if they please

Thank you.

 

I'm in the Combine thread reading things like "Coleman's now a 3rd Rounder" and "Mitchell is now clearly WR4 or WR5".

 

It's important. But it's not EVERYTHING.

I agree it's not everything, but Mitchell has excellent traits. The knock on him was speed, though I always felt he was faster than folks gave him credit for.
