FSU WR's recently......not good.

I know we dunk on XL but Coleman may want to be in the NFL even less.

Yeah, he basically turned into post-ACL/losing mom version of KB without having those excuse crutches to lean on. KB is definitely one of those "what if" stories. I don't think he was mentally built for the long haul but if that double whammy hadn't derailed him I could've seen him having a David Boston type run where he was dominant for a few years before the weight and conditioning issues caught up with him and the injuries started piling up as Father Time started whooping on him.

It's funny to look at the little bubble of WR's around the 28th to 37th picks in that draft. Looks like a lot of guys that might not pan out and one clear star. Pearsall is hard to judge after his 50 Cent season.

It's a danger zone. That's the point of the draft where a lot of guys with clear 1st round talent but clear deficiencies in their game get drafted. Those types of guys are always gonna have a high bust rate.

That's true. I remember people simping hard for some of these guys that I was wary of. Coleman, XL and Worthy being amongst those. 

Seems like we are on this streak of small, fast Texass WR's that are just better versions of John Ross. Worthy, Golden, etc. Never saw the fascination once you looked past the 40 times and tape of them catching wide open passes in college.

I loved Coleman as a player but at the end of the day if the guy doesn't want to put in the work and can't at least show up to meetings on time he ain't gonna make it. Doesn't matter how good he is on the field.

The hit rate around that area is statistically around the same as the rest of the 1st round.  Its just the hit rate is dubious even at the highest level of the draft.

At least its a cheaper contract when you take a guy there.

I didn't realize Keon Coleman was a healthy scratch last night. The Bills basically went out there to play the #1 D in the league with no wide receivers because fug this guy THAT much. LOL

This dude is gonna end up bounced out of the league pretty soon seemingly because he can't get to meetings on time. Good grief. That's about the dumbest way to piss away a 7-8 figure a year career possible.

He sucks to be honest. He hasn't made much of a difference at all.

      For me, it's because we needed a center, Frazier was sitting there, and we traded up for an injured RB that wasn't ready for TC as promised, or the season opener, then until mid season, then has another tear and is out all of year 2. Year 3 we hope he'll be back, but just judging by his history, that's no guarantee. We drafted Etienne so who knows if he's in the future plans or if he's just another Eric Shelton.  With so many needs on this team, taking an injured RB was a luxury pick we didn't have the luxury to make. I have nothing against the guy, don't know him. Hope he does come back and can contribute. At this point, my angst is with the FO, not Brooks. It's just another one of those times when the lowly Huddle was right, again. It just gets old, and really seems to be a pattern under Tepper.

      High praise for TMac

      You were driving the train---and rightfully so being a UArizona alum, and you have received and deserve your candy and flowers---but you weren't the only one on board.
