According to Cover 1, Coleman will be a healthy scratch

Could have sworn that I read a few months back that Josh Allen is the one who told the FO to draft Keon Coleman.

 

How does that get lost in all of this, if the case?

 

 

Josh Allen can do no wrong to us.  It's not easy for us to be objective because he is the most likable and great player they've ever had.   But if Josh did influence the pick.......he should be the main player in Keon's ear.   It's hard to reach your potential as a leader if you can't NOT be everyone's best friend. 

[Kelly to Allen]

I personally love having 6 wrs active. I prefer the roster flexibility there

If we can keep him on the bench for disciplinary issues that might salvage some trade value next year. The alternative being he just sucks and doesn't deserve to be on the field. 🤔

Josh seems busy. Doubt he is a scout or asst. GM. AFTER the draft he welcomed Keon aboard and said he was his first choice.  In what world would Allen have said anything else? "Beane screwed the pooch, how the hell did he pass up Worthy and McConkey for this slow poke"

And,what if he was? he wasn't! who cares he's not the GM or the coach or a scout.

😂😂We exist in a world where Allen is simultaneously too busy w golf and shooting commercials in the offseason and also somehow scouting college wrs and helping Beane develop his draft board

The whole "Josh picked Keon!" rhetoric is such nonsense. Do I believe Josh was watching clips of that WR class and texting Beane saying "this guy looks awesome!" Sure. Do I believe that either:

 

a) Josh was saying "X guy is my first choice" whether that was Keon or anyone; or

 

b) that Josh had any influence on the pick?

 

 

Strong no to both. Brandon Beane is responsible for the Bills draft picks. I don't know how many other ways there are to say it.

all I know is to this point that highly thought of WR class has been a giant fail. Just mired in inconsistency and disappointment so far

As an interesting exercise, I’m curious how you and @GunnerBill would redraft the guys picked in the top 2 rounds? To recap: MHJ, Nabers, Odunze, BTJ, Worthy, Pearsall, Legette, Coleman, McConkey, Polk, & Mitchell are the guys.

Well my predraft as a reminder was 

 

1. MHJ

2. Odunze

3. Nabers

4. BTJ

5. McConkey

6. Mitchell

7.  Worthy

8. Franklin

9. Legette

10. McMillian 

 

If I had to rerank the guys based on what I’ve seen so far with hindsight

 

1. Nabers

2. Odunze

3. Harrison

4. McConkey

5. BTJ

6. Franklin

7. Worthy

8. Pearsall

9. Coleman

10. Legette

11. Mitchell

 

* I think you have to give Nabers the # 1 spot here. Odunze I’m going to give the slight edge over Harrison for two. I think Harrison can still be really good but I think Kyler Murray really holds him back with his inconsistency. 

 

I think McConkey has earned the right to be # 4 with two consistent seasons so far while BTJ was explosive as a rookie. I could see why someone would take BTJ still over McConkey just based on how explosive he was as a rookie and upside is higher than McConkey. 
 

I think then there is a big separation but I’d have Franklin at 6 as he’s starting to separate from the second group of WRs.  Still not sold on Worthy but after him is kind of a big drop off as he’s had productive games and is more deep shot gadget guy than consistent WR. 
 

Ricky Pearsall would be much higher if he could stay on the field. Obviously getting shot is unexpected but now he got hurt again in year 2. When he is on the field he’s actually been really good. 
 

Coleman, Legette, and Mitchell are interchangeable in my opinion. What type of disappointment do you want? Do you want injury prone, can’t catch but can separate, can catch but can’t separate. Take your choice of disappointing draft pick here

So my ranking at the time was:

 

Tier 1:

1. MHJ

2. Nabers

 

Tier 2:

3. Odunze

 

Tier 3:

4. Legette

5. BTJ

 

Tier 4:

6. Mitchell

7. McConkey

8. Worthy

 

Tier 5:

9. Baker (went much later)

10. Coleman

11. Pearsall

 

I didn't have a top 2 rounds grade on Polk.

 

If I was redrafting today (on the basis of production not health) I'd go:

 

Tier 1:

1. Nabers

 

Tier 2:

2. MHJ 

3. BTJ

4. Odunze

5. McConkey

 

Honestly after that I'd be hard pressed to take any of the others in the first 2 rounds so there is no tier 3 or 4. 

 

 

EDIT: I had Franklin in that tier with Baker and Coleman somewhere. Forgot about him before @gonzo1105's post. And I WOULD take Franklin in round 2. He is still probably tier 4. But on his own and with no tier 3.
