Not understanding the Keon Coleman hype at all (2 Viewers)

[St. Geezy]

Yeah his speed test results, combined with tape concern confirmations, have turned me off to him.

Fourth round prospect.

MT13 ran a 4.57, Coleman a 4.61. That is basically the same. I would not fret about .04 if that is your concern. He is same size as MT13.

You’d think that, but you’d notice the difference if they were running side by side. Every hundreth of a second matters.

Also, MT’s explosiveness in and out of breaks is unparalleled.

His speed is not a concern... go watch the vids... he had his best games when they mattered (and he had a QB)... he returned punts... He makes contested catches... He runs good routes... He breaks tackles.... He's too big for CBs... He's too quick for LBs... He's too fast for most S.... He's exactly what you want to complement players like Olave and Shaheed. Don't overthink his 40 time.

Guy is a freak, makes contested catches, can be hard to cover, and could be a good red zone target.

I think you are comparing 5-6 year veteran MT to a college player. Read the concerns of MT when he came out-

Considering how bad we were in the red zone last year, we could use a guy like Coleman. He wouldn’t be my first choice, but if we do take him, I won’t be mad. Maybe not the fastest guy, but he is smooth and I’ve seen him break some long gainers when he has some space.

Fair point.

His speed test result? If I'm not mistaken, he was the fastest in the gauntlet this year. And if tape concerns didn't turn off people from Williams and Maye, Coleman should have some grace..lol. I think his actual play speed and ball hawking skills are top tier but he does need work. I think with more development, he would be a beast from the slot.

This all may be academic... Coleman might be the 1st or 2nd player to come off the board tonight.

 

[St. Geezy]

Think I’d prefer the TE Jatavion Sanders if we are looking for a big body receiving threat.

He has some special traits that if honed properly, could make him a big time player.

 

[MG3n2K5]

I see him as a big slot WR, redzone WR, and as a part of the running game. I don't have concerns in those areas. Now if I'm looking for him to be in the place of Olave or Rasheed I would be a bit worried. I would like this pick.

 

[Madmarsha]

Yeah listening to Ross just now he said the same. I don't care about underwear speed I care about football speed. Having said that I know zilch about the guy.

What is underwear speed?

Asking for a friend.

 

[Madmarsha]

Count me in as another nay … personally, I’m hoping for Luke McCaffrey in the fifth

I'm hoping for another Marques Colston in the 7th.

yea he'll be gone before we pick.

If serious lol speed during the 40, combine stuff, not in pads. Not football speed. Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane.

I figure you're kidding tho.
