He ran a 4.6 yesterday.  2nd worst time of all WRs.  That ain’t what we need IMO.   Not at 33.  Not with all the speed and good WRs in this draft 

yeah but he had the fastest time in the guantlet.  catching balls.  which is what matters.  how fast someone runs in tights, doesnt matter in the NFL.

How is his ability to separate and getting open? 

he does that vertically.  Bryce needs a big target, especially over the middle.  Carolina hasnt had a decent TE in a long time.  This guy is a WR with a TE body.  He can go up and get it.

40 time is distinctively different from the ability to separate. The tape will tell the story on that. 

I don’t love him as a prospect, TBH.

Also, our history with FSU players is pretty bad. As I said in another thread, I am just fine never taking another FSU player again.

Think he was trying to make up for such a bad 40.  It’s why he couldn’t cut up field on the last ball and ran off field.

Speed and seperation isnt all a wr needs.  Carolina was pretty bad at catching the ball and dropping it.  This guy is as sure handed as it gets.

Separation is critical in the modern NFL. It's great that he is sure handed but so is someone like McConkey who also gets separation with regularity. 

This smacks of Prime Cam "Get him tall WR's" strategy. The modern NFL thrives on separation and creating in space.

I would say the modern NFL also uses big guys to catch the ball.  Look at Kelce and Kittle.  granted both TE's but were not gonna find one of them in this draft.

I would like the pick but regardless of if we pick him or not, we definitely need a WR who can go get the 50/50 ball. 

My pro comp for Coleman is Tee Higgins.

I'm a little concerned about the 40 time but I'm sure he'll have the typical pro day improvement that everyone has when they run a bad 40 at the combine.

You basically alluded to that. That's creating a different sort of mismatch at TE. Not the same thing.

There is a reason there aren't a lot of tall and limited possession receivers that are popular in modern NFL offenses. It's a different era. 

I don’t think this specific prospect offers much different than TMJ or Mingo.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
