The dude has 5 career drops. We've had more drops in a game than that.

The ESPN group just said it wouldn’t surprise him if Coleman not only will be a day one starter but could be the Bills number one WR!

Coleman is going to be the rookie of the year. Bank on it.
The front office is not stupid, especially after sitting on the pick for a day and I'm sure they watched videos and went over everything again today before the draft.
First, Coleman bring smething to the Bills WR room they don't have. So it is at least a complimentary piece. So say in a game when the opposing team is blanking our smaller but fast receivers - happened often late last year when man coverage seemed to neutralized Diggs, Davis, now we have someone you can throw jump ball too. I don't know it is the best strategy but it is a new avenue for Josh.
Second, he's very much a boom or bust guy. Route running and separation looked to be subpar compared to others in his tier, though short area quickness is superb, thus the comparison to Saints' Mike Williams in the big nickel usage. But I hear another comparison - look at the DHop draft profile. A lot of similarity in terms of size, weight, speed, and jump ball capability, as well as college production. DHop was drafted 1st round 27th overall, not far from Coleman's #33. So Beane and company are hoping for the boom here instead of taking those middle of the road kind of solid category. For the Bills sake, hope this guy refines his route running skills to maximize his physical traits, like DHop did when he came into NFL.

I would have preferred C Jackson Power-Johnson or 1DT Sweat however drafting Coleman was certainly worth it in a position of need.
If he works hard on his craft to improve separation through better route running, he certainly could become a very good WR.
Lecter (who watches all FSU games) says he's the real deal. Catches everything.
I'm happy we finally got a big body wide receiver to take the ball away from smaller corners, but I still feel we don't have a number one receiver.
4.6 time isn't impressive, but nobody ever said Andre Reed was fast....except for the guys chasing him.
One hole filled.
And it wouldn't surprise me if we took another receiver in the fifth or 6th.

I thanked you not for relaying the Lecter comments. I mean the dude plays with his poop. That aside, 40 times are overrated. We are talking 10ths and hundredths of seconds.
(there is another Lecter joke in there but …)

Of all possibilities for WR, not impressed. The typical lemmings are head over heels here. This player is going to have to prove he's worthy of being a starting NFL WR, because no matter how many YouTube video you clowns post, this pick is just underwhelming. How short are your memories? You all flipped out in a similar fashion over James Hardy? Another tall (6' 5") round two failure at WR. So he's going to have to prove himself.
Spraying more stickum on his gloves than others.
But you've brought out the one WR stat the the Bills have clearly focused in on lately -> drops.
This player has a good rep for hanging on to the ball. Others here have compared how much better Curtis Samuel held onto the ball c/w Gabe Davis.
Maybe just a Gabe Davis replacement.
