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.

There's a name I have not heard in a very long time.

Yeah, he's largely forgotten in NFL history but damn he had a couple years there where he looked like he was gonna be an all time great. The guy had 1600 yards at 23 years old. He ran a 4.3 flat at 6'1" 215. Then he basically tried to become a body builder while still in the NFL and his knees couldn't hold up to the weight. Then a few years later we basically watched that same story play out with Laron Landry.

Laron Landry a few years later. Same thing. Phenomenal athletes. Great players. But basically derailed their football careers trying to be body builders.

I think the most impressive thing about Boston is he put on like 39 lbs of muscle one offseason and passed the drug tests.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
