It amazes me that you all are judging with certainty a 20 year old guy with notable elite athletic talent who is raw and early in his football experience. He's not a polished NFL-ready WR, but he has ceiling. Reminds me of the Josh Allen pick.

Keon Coleman seems to be a perfect fit for the Bills.
He is going to catch a A LOT of TD's. Josh is going to love him in the red zone.
The best argument I heard so far is on cover 1 where they had someone who knows Joe Brady very well. His main point is development being the key for Coleman and Brady has a good track record on young wide receivers. Coleman is not even 21 yet, one of the youngest in the draft. He termed Coleman being very raw, winning with his athleticism so far. So Bills must’ve thought he has significant room to grow on trchnique. When Brady was at LSU, Jefferson was ok and Chase etc were nothing as a freshman, but blossomed year 2 & 3. He gave Brady a lot of credit there

He even said he thinks Brady will start to work on slants for Coleman, something he is not asked to do much in college but a must for a X in nfl. And it might be easier for him to learn and master given his short area quickness. That maybe the only thing they focus on in his rookie year. He did say if Coleman does not progress in this area, then the writing is on the wall

This is the theme I stated a few times. How much better someone who is older and played with all of those nfl talent in college can be going forward in nfl? MHJ is reportedly having his dad training him, teaching him all of the tricks. Will someone in nfl teach him that much more new stuff for him to take another huge leap? A Coleman is a gamble but the ceiling is much more than what he has shown so far

‘This is a guy who was good enough on the court to play for legendary Michigan State coach Tom Izzo’s team when he was a two-sport freshman for the Spartans in 2020 and 2021.’

You're allowed to your opinion. But this pick should remind you of the James Hardy pick. He was a 6' 5" 2nd-round Bills pick that was supposed to all the things they say Coleman is to do. He was a HUGE bust. So, hopefully, Coleman shows himself differently. But, that so many teams drafted other WRs in front of him, doesn't exactly seem like the other teams thought enough about him to take him in the first. We'll see.
So what part exactly is your comsprison based on… the chronic hamstring injuries, the fact at 6’5” he played basketball and was quite honored in the sport, or his suicidal tendencies
it’s a wee different game today than in 2008. Yes some bust but some do not. By looking at a guy the comparisons are silly.
in Josh’s QB class, late mocks , did any expert compare Rosen to Leaf or Klingler?
no one thought Darnold would epic fail.
Let the playing begin.

By dumping Diggs and Davis we are gonna get some competition for a change.
Real incentive when you know hey I really gotta shot now.
Shorter, Coleman, Shakir, Samuel, Hollins, Isabella, Cephus, Shavers, Hamler and Thompson.
Ok guys here's your shot go and make it happen.
Watch his Bills introduction presser, the 20-year-old youth comes right off the screen. Compared to others draft picks with measured somewhat coached up responses, this guy is fairly green. I can see someone may not like his interview. But others like the Bills think they can mold him to new heights.
Does it remind you your first interview as a 20-year-old?
My point is that any opinion about his future needs to be broadened away from certainty. He could be anything.
I remember getting in a flight from Buffalo to Atlanta, nearly full, when all of a sudden a half dozen athlete types board and sit in the remaining seats. Next to me sat Eric Ciano. One row up from me was Hardy. I asked Ciano how Hardy was doing, and while his words were “he’s gonna be alright,” his face said no.
Would I say that Coleman is Hardy, because they’re both the big red zone target? That’s a bit simpleminded.
Here are some Keon Coleman highlights.
A man among boys.

IMO , Bean had Worthy ,Legette, Coleman in the same group. Whoever KC and Panthers didn't pick we would've taken at 33 and pretend he was our guy all along.

New information learned is that he likes cookies and Macy’s.
Seems like a nice kid. Let’s hope he outshines the guys we passed up for him.
