How can 95% success rate be red??? Hell how can 77% be but then 73% be yellow?

 

Because it's in comparison to other receivers. 

 

The only thing this guy isn't below average at (besides drop rate which is exceptional) is contested catches. But he wasn't even better at it than some other Day 2 receivers. And he's not big enough or athletic enough to do it in the NFL.

 

Love the hands, but he won't have the space to use them.

he has his opportunity now to show what he can do at the NFL level. He is Our WR and as such I will watch with hope and excitement as to what he will bring to the table In Buffalo

 

WELCOME TO BUFFALO KEON COLEMAN Prove the cynics wrong and win over the haters ON THE FIELD

 

If he is reading the pessimism I hope it inspires him. Time to put his big boy panties on.  in the NFL.

 

And I don't believe the Bills draft any WR that #17 doesn't approve. of just sayin

Everyone relax. National media is much higher than our fans.

plus the Pats were trying to get him and the Bills snipped them (they traded down after)

 

Usually when a team grabs a guy even though it seems to the guy on the street "he would have been there much later", they know someone else has their eye on him

Here's the thing now that I've had a second to rage. With the exception of Legette, who isn't there yet, but I thought he could get there, we're picking from players who are very good at a few things but not complete players. This is our young, large possesion receiver who is a red zone threat. He has very good hands and obviously is good at contested catches. I would expect we pick D at 60 and take a speed guy in the 3rd or 4th. Does that make this an amazing WR room? No. But it at least gives us some pieces we didn't have before.

Didn't take long - I love the pick.

 

But, it feels like we still need a speedster.  Get someone who can stretch the field.

 

Walker in the 3rd or 4th and I'm over the moon. Franklin is still out there as I type this as well. It's very doable with also adding size.

Benjamin was a lazy lard. This guy has a work ethic. 

Chris Kelsay had a work ethic. It doesn't always translate to production. We had a shot at Thomas & Leggette and we passed for a hard working 4.61 guy.  Good luck getting separation against NFL dbs.  Keep picking choir boys sean.

Stuff I'm not loving here

-Press coverage can blanket his release and catch a ride.

-Below-average acceleration getting out of breaks and cuts.

-Could struggle finding separation to avoid excessive contested catches.


Stuff that sounds good:

-Prototypical size and high-end ball skills.

-Attacks underneath throws with extended, sticky hands.

-Works aggressively back on short and intermediate throws.

-Unlikely to see focus drops when watching his tape.

-Meets jump balls with full extension to the high-point.

-Uses size to gain advantage over the cornerback on jump-ball wins.

-Hard to bring down after the catch and as a punt returner.

 

Guess the WR from Lance Zierlein's report:

 

Strengths

Good initial burst off the snap. Slippery working around traffic and redirection in space. Jab step gives separation from route stem more life. Naturally instinctive pass-catcher. Adjusts speeds to track throws and shield coverage. Makes twisting, twirling mid-air adjustments look easy. Ridiculous catch radius to help a quarterback out. Sharpened catch focus in 2019. Quick hands to stab anticipation throws coming out of breaks. Leaping and length carry him to the high point. Reliable from slot at making "gotta have it" catches to extend drives. Willing to do his part and give effort as slot blocker.

 

Weaknesses

Spread scheme threw field wide open for him. Needs more attention to detail with his routes. Too complacent to beat coverage with athletic ability. Unable to run away and separate from tight man. Size and strength across from him impede production. Will take time adjusting to press looks as a pro. Limited one-on-one prowess to win 50/50 throws. Separation talent just average outside.

 

 

 

Ready?
