I just looked back at Kelvin Benjamin's scouting report. Guess what his 40 time was? 4.61. Guess what the report said? "Plays faster"

It's a Beane/McD thing. They've been trying to find that big receiver since they came to Buffalo. One epic fail (Benjamin), one moderate success (Gabe). Third time is a Hall of Famer.

Devin Funchess (bust)

Don't like it. Doesn't separate. When they put up Mike Williams as a pro comp that says it all. Non-separator. 

 

DJ said Big Slot as well. That is ultimately where I think he makes his money. 

Mike Williams is a good receiver, though.

From bleacher report 

 

POSITIVES

— Ideal build for the position. Built like a true X receiver.

— Good agility and explosion for his size.

— Very good YAC ability. Tough to track and tackle given his blend of size and speed.

— Great play strength. Bully throughout the route and at the catch point.

— Elite ball skills. Exceptional ability to track the ball in the air and find it at its highest point.

NEGATIVES

— Average deep speed. Has more than enough speed given his size, but not a true burner.

— Footwork could be more efficient on sharp route breaks. Sometimes takes too many steps to gather himself as a route-runner.

First, I admit I got a copy of Draft Digest.  That being said, for what it's worth they have Coleman as their #4 WR behind Harrison, Nabers, and Odunze.  

I betcha they think Disco is groovy.

Convince me we couldn't trade back eight pieces and still get this guy


 

Clear New England wanted him.  
 

We definitely were targeting Coleman knew we could take him in trade down.

Coleman is basically seems Gabe Davis with better hands. 
 

I don’t know if that’s really what we needed.

 

Another WR please

Gabe with better hands would be really good. The drops were the biggest problem. And for those calling him Kelvin Benjamin, if we could get Benjamin before he decided that he liked eating more than football then that is a 1,000 yard guy.

He better be able to play on the boundary, because Kincaid is our big slot.

I mean I hope so. Just seems like they don’t have to take away Diggs and we still won’t have any one to make them pay for it. I like kinkade a lot, hopefully he can be a Kelsey style target and open up shakir.

this thread is 90% bs speculation, no one really has a clue how this kid will turn out, I will trust the guy who is gonna be working with him everyday and throwing him the ball

I predict we will be looking at WR’s next year unless we hit another later this round.

I see our offence struggling to move the football and Allen taking the blame,  this team is worse off then last season.  This guy is project and reminds me of Chris Burkett who was big and slow.  You take guys like this in 3rd or 4th round


Chris Burkett had that dog in him, and not the good kind.  Everything I’ve seen with Coleman screams competitor.

It will be interesting to see how Coleman, Worthy, Legette, and McConkey compare in a few years. Beane better hope he pans out because Coleman will always be compared to those receivers and AD Mitchell.

Yaaaay the big guy who runs one route and can’t separate against college defensive backs wooooo

 

 

This fits our draft philosophy to a T though, it’s just like Edmunds 

Literally the opposite of Edmunds. 
Edmunds was super athletic, RAS score of 9.5, but played worse than his athleticism. 
Coleman is not super athletic,but plays better than his athletic traits would suggest.
