I'm going to give it a C across the board atm on initial impression. I thought it was an avg draft and uninspiring. If this was last year, knocked it out of the park. Wr heavy draft we took one...the perfect wr2.
I like Coleman, he's fierce, passionate about playing with Allen, and his media appearance made me love him more. I don't see him as Kelvin Benjamin...I see him as TJ Houshmanzadeh. So...Legette/Coleman....Coleman/Mitchell....or Coleman/Franklin would have excited me. I dunno about Coleman/Shakir//Samuel.
Bishop will not start, nor will center SVPG. Bishop will get sub package snaps...SVPG...will get some small snaps at guard. That's pattern unless McGovern gets hurt or goes woeful. Sub par center will be tolerable enough to not start the rookie.
Davis is no scat back, he,s a bowling ball who loves contact and has soft hands...by the same token... punishing Estime was still there. Everyone else looks crapshoot to me, depth or special teams.
I guess I expected a more urgent draft. I'm not happy with it, but can't project results ..sincerely wish these kids the best...hope for it too..
But Beane's credibility here is now McDermott level dubious to me, imo...and away we go.

Yep. I don’t hate the picks overall, as opposed to not liking the fact that it “appears” that we passed up opportunities to acquire more potentially explosive players in lieu of taking safer lower ceiling players.
I would have taken Leggette and Estime/Guerendo over Coleman and Davis for example.
Coleman feels like a potentially better Gave Davis replacement but is that what you’re trying to score with your first pick of the draft?
Davis looks a lot like Motor to me in style. A little heavier I guess but will he really be more effective than Motor? I loved Motor don’t get me wrong, but he wasn’t a game breaker…Guerendo could be.

Half the sec can’t spell insurance, much less sell it

If the English Ol guy can't cut it at tackle maybe he could play x receiver. He's over 300 lbs and almost as fast as Coleman
There were 33 SEC defenders drafted this year. The team that Davis rang up a full 1/4 of his total rushing yards against in one game, Florida, had zero. Alabama 12 for 26...Georgia 15 for 59...Tennessee 16 for 42. Not so hot against teams with players. Other than Florida, his other high YPC games came against Akron and Ball State.
He just looks like Motor-Lite to me, and that's not really good enough. For me, anyway.
Hey, I'm a Bama/SEC guy, but the big league is still a significant step up, even for those guys.
I predicted they would try and stretch out the bucket and squander some value in the process by reaching for players who won't return the value. Looks like they did exactly that: A.
