Corey Coleman

Not overly concerned about his size due to his athletic ability. Go ahead and ask Giant fan's if they're annoyed with OBJ's size. Him and Coleman are the same height.

More concerned about his limited route-running in college. I just hope he's not a mental midget who relied on his athletic ability in college. (Gilbert)

If college coaches can turn QB's into WR's, how hard can it be to teach a guy basic route running and defensive reads?

Sounds like Corey may have been holding back some tears at the end.

Im feeling better about this pick as time goes on. If the one thing he needs to work on is route running, then sign me up.

Also, look at Corey in the Brand Jordan screen from a photo shoot.

He looks like a god damn brick house. He looks more like a SS than a WR.

He makes Haden look small, who's listed at 5'11", 195 LBS.

If he turns into a great player, our rivals will HATE him. I dont think I have ever seen a player with this type of fire on the field for the Browns before. He is at Steve Smith levels of competitive. I know those are buzz words, but watch him and you will see.

This guy is a mean motherfucker.

Reception Perception just released on the man I will call, "CoCo Butter," our major key to success that's slippery as F.

Wanted Treadwell, but I trust them to have chosen the right one. 20 touchdowns later, I believe they picked the best WR in the draft. Excited to see the swath of 2nd day picks come in now with the Harvard boys.

Browns make a refreshing first pick in their new analytics era

The draft strategy that could save the Browns from QB purgatory]

Coleman was immensely productive in his final college season racking up 1,363 yards and 20 touchdowns. His 1.7 touchdowns scored per game rate was the highest among the top prospects. Coleman underscored his impressive profile with a 4.37 40-yard dash, 129-inch broad jump and 40 1/2-inch vertical. Those figures were at or above the 90th percentile among receivers tested since 1999, per MockDraftable.

But even with all that data indicating future NFL success, many analysts questioned his ability to translate to the pro game, with many of the hang-ups a result of his role in the Baylor offense.

Baylor’s offense only puts together a simplistic route tree for its wide receivers. In the six games sampled for his evaluation, the screen, slant, curl and nine routes accounted for 82.6 percent of Coleman’s 121 charted routes. He will require time and seasoning in learning to run the full route tree, especially digs and out-breaking routes. But the Browns still have a true playmaker on their hands.

Top NFL receivers are often assigned similar route inventories. A prospect’s ability to “run the full route tree” is an overblown criticism recycled year after year by the scouting community. Projecting a player from the college level to the NFL is more about identifying translatable traits and their execution in their assignments. Coleman passes that test with flying colors. His success rate vs. coverage (SRVC) scores, which measures how often a player creates separation and gets open, indicates he could develop into a full-time receiver.

Always nice to add a potential playmaker on offense.

Something the Browns have lacked.

Duke Johnson and Coleman give us legit threats to do some damage on the offensive side of the ball.

IF and it is a huge IF, RGIII can figure some shit out with Hue, we might not be completely miserable on offense this year.

I know @LyXo article is supposed to assuage concerns, but look at those routes. Coleman was a gadget weapon in college moreso than an outside receiver. It's going to take him a year to really perfect pro style patterns.

I think the point is more that Coleman is already familiar with some quick routes, which will help him on the field early. He'll need to become more acquainted with the other routes, sure, but at least he'll be useful on the field during the learning process.

He's a straight killer. Assassin. Love his attitude.

I buy the Steve Smith comparison in more ways than one.

Lol you guys.
