Keon Coleman

Re: Keon Coleman

Interested in some outside (of Billszone and mostly non Bills fans) opinions on Keon before the draft?

Some very interesting thoughts. Such as “slower 40 but fourth fastest on all of his routes”, “tied for second on his go route” -drainbead78

If he becomes a good route runner in the NFL, he'll be a fantastic wr.

Re: Keon Coleman

He needs to be developed. It will take time. Probably won't stretch the field and he wasn't used in the slot at Florida. Isn't a great route runner. He's built for a big slot role, but it's not who he was in college. So...

He's not going to mesh with Josh's ability right away. He won't be a Kincaid his rookie year.

I do like the pick and the player, though.

Still don't believe we didn't also pick Johnny Wilson.

WAAAAAAAY too early to make that kind of declarative statement.

Coleman has just as much chance of "meshing with Josh's ability right away" as he doesn't. Same with having a rookie year like Kincaid's.

Just going off the scouting reports. Doesn't creat seperation. Josh likes to throw to targets who flash open. Kincaid gets open.

Agreed. I said it before, if he fails it won’t be for lack of effort.

Also if he fails overall as a player I’d bet that he’ll still becomes at the very least a reliable RZ jump ball weapon catching 7-8 tuddies a year.

As a matter of fact I’ll go ahead and predict that he catches 7 tuddies THIS YEAR.

I agree. Although 7 tds is a bit optimistic.

Let's not forget that Dalton Kincaid had only 2 tds his rookie year.

It’s all down to usage. Sam Laporta caught ten last year his rookie year. Because he’s better than Dalton or because of usage?

I think this year Keon eats in the RZ and Kincaid is going to eat up and down the field.

Usage is important but what's more important is chemistry with Allen.

It's going to take time for these two to get on the same page.

I like our chances with chemistry with a full off-season and a fully baked as opposed to cobbled together Brady offense.

7 tuddies. You heard it here first. Don’t forget to pull up this post after it happens. I want my credit after it’s earned!

I'm going to predict 11. They are going to make the Diggs trade look even better.

Re: Keon Coleman

I'm going to predict 11. They are going to make the Diggs trade look even better.

Last season:

Diggs = 8
Davis = 7
Kincaid = 2
Shakir = 2
Cook = 4
Knox = 2
4 others with 1

11, even 7, is pie in the sky. You both have seen how slow the Bills are at working rookies in. Whether it be WRs and RBs or defensive ends. The only reason Elam and Benford were put in so fast were injuries to starters.

Again....waaaaaaay to premature.

Josh needs a WR who can go up and get contested throws.

I predicted 11 to match Diggs career high.

I'm going to hope for 11 or more

Re: Keon Coleman

Man, we are still talking about this "can't get separation" stuff. Let's wait to see in camp at least.

There are many ways to get open, based on personal traits. I still say, at the outside, Coleman can look up to DHop how he gets open. Like the instruction video here (around 6:30 mark). There aren't many DBs can match up to Coleman's 215 lb size and strength.

You’re trying to be funny obviously but we did lose our previous top two pass catchers…those balls are going to go somewhere.

They didn’t draft their new number one to not throw him the ball.

I’d be shocked if he doesn’t catch at least seven.

Nope not trying to be funny. Trying to be hopeful and 11 TDs hopefully would shut up the Diggs trade haters.
