Gunsgoodtime Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Can't wait until Mcd and Beane are fired at the end of the year. A generational wr draft and you desperately need wr because have not drafted one in the 1st 3 rounds in 5 years being the only team in the NFL to do so, with Josh Allen as your qb, trade back with the team you can not beat so they can take another player to beat you, then trade back to see another player you needed go off the board, and select Keon Coleman as our only WR. The firings can't come soon enough, and the board will be on board halfway through the season here 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word came out that he was the last receiver left on Allen’s wish list. Thats a big deal. Why would Beane not want to consult the face of his franchise when trying to get him more weapons? This tells me that Allen’s wish list included Harrison, Nabers, Odunze, Coleman, and probably Thomas. Think of it this way…if worthy, pearsall, or legette were on that list, they would have taken them at 28, or at most 32 for legette. I’m sure Beane would have liked to have traded down another time, but he could have risked losing Coleman. I wasn’t overly thrilled with Coleman being the guy, but while he might lack separation on tape, and a good 40 time, he also had amazing splits in the 40 and other drills. The drills are where the football comes out in these guys…you know, catching the ball. Haha. Anyways…when you look at the bigger picture with Coleman, it’s not a bad pick at all. The guy is really athletic, has great hands and body control…and most of all…Allen wanted him. But he doesn't have great hands. I could see this pick going either way because Coleman isn't elite in any one area and because Allen gets the most out of receivers. Worried about the pick because he catches a bit of passes using his body, bobbles catches, which can lead to contact drops in key moments; he also doesn't have burner speed and defenders always seem to be right there with him. He's too similar to Gabe Davis (who was taken in the 4th rd.) to really feel great about the pick, but I feel like the pick could work out, because Allen can put the ball on him in a hurry, minimizing those drops that will take place in more physical play, he seems adept at creating enough space between himself and defender during battles for the ball, and despite reminding me of Davis he seems like a better route runner and is way shiftier in space than Davis. Hopefully the OC, Allen, and Coleman make it work, otherwise this will likely go down as another offensive selection that was made a round or two too early. *Leaning on side of it working out* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOFer and IMHO the greatest WR to ever put on a Bills Uniform. These are all true statements. With that said, other than a handful of people in the world that know where Kutztown University is, keep in mind that that their were less teams, more rounds, and maybe one grainy video or two to dissect Andre Reed's game. Bills had a good GM at that time. Reed was great. He was the 2nd option for Kelly behind Thomas and occasionally Lofton. In summary, Reed in 85-86 versus Coleman in 2024-2025 as far as analysis is a lot like comparing CGI capabilities in movies 🎬 from 85 till today as it relates to player evaluation. Keon Coleman may have a good career but there is a million times more information, analysis, video, and resources to make it more likely that Coleman will be at his peak a #2 whose skillset and production scream a #3. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
