Even though Coleman still has a lot to prove, this argument is idiotic to say the least.
Was the giants selection of Odell Beckham a bad pick? Would it have been a wasted pick to draft Antonio Brown in the first round? Hell, the patriots just traded a first round pick for Brandin Cooks, who is an inch shorter than Coleman. Are the defending Super Bowl champs idiots?
Odell weighs 198 pounds man.
And nope, they are smart because they draft guys like Julian Edelman in the 7th, not the 1st.
And just as expected, Corey Coleman gets hurt again. We've all heard about the nagging hamstring, but now he has a "middle body" injury to pair with that.
This is exactly why you don't take tiny WRs in Round 1. You can always find quality slots late, and given how brittle they can be (especially Coleman) it doesn't make sense to invest premium assets in players like that.
Remember how the 2016 draft unfolded? Keep it in mind. I feel like this is going to sting as we head into this year:
15th overall: Corey Coleman
16th overall: Taylor Decker
17th overall: Keanu Neal
18th overall: Ryan Kelly
Keanu Neal and Ryan Kelly are already premium players at their positions, and Taylor Decker had a really solid rookie season as well. Will be interesting to see what happens, but even if we had picked Taylor Decker and then drafted a WR with the pick we used on Shon Coleman (Braxton Miller and Malcolm Mitchell were still available there), we are sitting pretty.
Or we take Keanu Neal and then instead of Jabrill Peppers this year, we trade down a few picks and take Marcus Williams to fill the FS void. Then we sign Stevie Johnson or Victor Cruz to compete in the slot with Rashard Higgins. But alas.
So Terrelle Pryor was just named the most improved player of the year.
Of course, he is a free agent though 
Our late picks are kinda getting ripped: http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades5.php
Schobert being graded better than our other picks yesterday, so that is nice.
We are taking pure production, aren't we?
Really like what the new staff has done. Getting good grades too: http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades.php
Here is how the first 7 picks could shake out: http://walterfootball.com/draft2016.php
If it goes like this, we have to take Zeke IMO. Could be a dynamic running offense next year.
This Free Agency page has some interesting notes regarding us: http://walterfootball.com/nflrumors/freeagency
Apparently we have interest on Demario Davis, the old Jets MLB.
I think we have much bigger needs, but thats me.
I freaking love Jack. We may be passing on Bosa if we took him at our pick though,
Let's make this the official underclassmen declaration thread. As guys declare discuss your opinions on them and if you think they are a good fit for us next year.
Here is a underclassmen tracker in case you don't know who has declared so far.
One guy who just declared is Su'a Cravens. I really like him for us as a Craig Robertson replacement. He will probably go in the Mid-1st but he's a guy I wouldn't mind trading up for. Would add a ton of athleticism to our front 7.
It's weird how long Arians was an coordinator for before finally getting hired as a HC. And it even took him being an a successful interim HC before anyone took a chance on him. I have a feeling he's not a great interviewer even though he's a great coach. I'm sure tons of teams had chances at him. Not exclusive to us.
Gracefully lose for Goff?
There aren't any good tanking slogans for Goff.
I was reading this mock draft today, and guess who was slotted to pick first? The Cleveland Browns. With Pettine as our HC and some of the additions we've made on D, there is no way I see that happening. Our offense is a mess but our D should win us some games. Do you think we'll pick 1st?
Zombo said:
Appreciate it, but preseason never really tells us all that much because you dont know what the coaching staff is up to.
Gabe and Benji will be are our burners and I think we'll see a lot of both, but Hartline and Hawk will be the major targets when the bullets are real imo. Then Bowe.

Who do you think will have a bigger year of the burners?
I'm really excited for the season to start, but the one thing I'm worried about is our weapons. I was curious who McCown has been targeting so I found this tracker and thought I would post it. There's some interesting data here, including Travis Benjamin. Did he pass Taylor Gabriel on the depth chart? Any thoughts on McCown's targets?
I love the Telfer pick. We need TE.
It got a decent grade but I would it a B+ or A-.
The Gaines pick is getting great grades too:
I love the Gaines pick. We need some depth at CB, and it's a great value.
Hahahahahahaha why do we hate WR's?
I actually love the guy we took, if Gipson isn't ready/leaves in FA it gives us options. Campbell is the best safety in this class.
Getting good grades so far:
