According to Cover 1, Coleman will be a healthy scratch

Dude, don’t slander Dion Dawkins like that!

Are you the BNews or something?

Believe when I see it.  But I think it's a good move if it happens.

It's especially tragic when you consider his game against Baltimore.

Contrary to what we read here, the kid has some talent. He's capable of doing a passable job. That's what frustrates me. He just seems immature and lazy. He doesn't strike me as someone with a good work ethic and a drive to be the best player he can be. I really think that if he put the work in to be excellent at his craft he could be a poor man's Drake London. Instead, he's a rich man's Kelvin Benjamin.

I don’t even want to see Keon play again. Period. Imagine all the times Josh looked his way, couldn’t trust a throw because he was covered, had no time to go through progressions and took a sack or a no yardage play. 

 

The irony of Gabe Davis being the replacement. My god.

[Bangarang]

Just a reminder that we took Keon in what was the deepest WR class in several years. 

 

Beane should be ashamed. Such an overrated GM.

I got news for you, if you look at the Drafts in previous years (especially if you want to go as far as back as, say, using Cody Ford as an example) - you're going to find that everyone has had misses. And a fair amount too if you go that far back. Especially when you consider where we're generally picking.

 

Look at the number of 2nd Round Picks we bring in to camp from other teams to Training Camp and the Practice Squad in recent years, for example. We just signed a guy in Phidarian Mathis to the active roster that was Washington's 2nd Round pick bust in 2022.

 

It feels like he misses a lot bc you focus on the Bills. But the fact is if you analyze every team's picks over the past 8 drafts - you're going to find a lot of misses in the first two picks. That's the nature of the Draft.

Bean misses and then double downs on it.  Gets Coleman, and then declares are awful WR room somehow good to go this season.  Terrible job by Bean all around.

It wasn't Doug Whaley in charge of that draft, it was Sean McDermott.  Pegula wanted to draft Mahomes but didn't want to meddle in the process and overrule McDermott.   

And you know this how?

I still think we'd be complaining about Worthy also at this point.  

 

McConkey or trading up for BTJ would have been the moves, which are easier to call in hindsight.  Though at the time, I was really hoping we'd trade up and take one of the more "sure" players.

The biggest mistake he made was not double-dipping like he did with Benford in the Elam Draft.

 

Coleman, man, what a clown.  You have all of that God-given talent, a free path to targets, and Josh Allen as your QB.  Work hard and you’re headed for a nine figure contract, no exaggeration.

 

Some people are just low character.

He's not even close to Kelvin Benjamin tbh

If Beane whiffed this bad on Elam and Coleman, he needs to be shown the door too. That's a long track record if you throw in Cody Ford, Boogie, etc. 

 

Exactly as I said numerous times, Beane's draft record is basically horrendous along with most of his over paid contracts. His constant overdrafting, constantly picking the wrong player when the right player was there for the taking and just whiffing on so many picks (this includes free agency as well). He and his staff have blown so much precious draft capital that we had over the years, it's maddening and unforgivable.

 

The Elam pick was the last straw and now the obvious to me from the moment he was picked in Coleman, I hated it. Dumb & slow.

So to speculate on the “incident”, because now I’m curious, the only recent incident that comes to my mind is whatever happened at Josh’s house the night before the Bengal playoff game.  That said, I don’t know how anyone’s presence would implicate that player in some way.

 

If we’re talking incidents further in the past, there was the Marcel Dareus drag racing incident, where it eventually came out that Jerry Hughes was involved too.  And there were also eventually stories that Jerry had an alter ego “Gary” on the field (https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/buffalo/sports/2020/10/29/the-evolution-of--gary--hughes).  So, in lieu of no additional information or clues, Jerry is my guess 😃.

Kair Coleman 

Or 

Keon Elam

 

this pick potentially cost us a SB

The thing I keep coming back to is Beane was the money guy at Carolina.  He doesn't have the football background.  That helps to explain the uneven early round drafting and his insecurity.  His philosophy of paying home grown guys is ok - he just keeps handling out pretty big contracts to decent but not excellent players.  Eventually that puts you in a bad place, and here we are.

Yeah, and Hawes, Strong, Deone Walker, Cole Bishop who looks like he's turned the corner, Kincaid, Torrence, Cook, Bernard, Shakir, Benford, Rousseau, Brown, Gabe Davis, Dane Jackson, Ed Oliver, Dawson Knox, .... 

 

Oh, wait, those run counter to your silly narrative? Oh, sorry about that.

 

Teams make bad picks. Every single team, without exception. Even in the first round. Bottom line, though is that teams need to be ranked by their complete draft record, not picking out this round and that round. And while it's still way way way early, Hairston looks good.
