jcam222 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Worst case scenario a look in their O playbook to compete with Haden giving them our D plays lol. Honestly early on I posted that Coates was a likely Steelers cut and a good get for the Browns. He can be really good and really bad. Saunders just needs to get him focused. OVERVIEW Finished his career with a yards-per-reception average of 20.9. In 2014, named second-team All-SEC and was a Senior Bowl invitee. Dominated in loss to Alabama with 5 receptions for 206 yards and 2 touchdowns. In 2013, started 12-of-14 games he played in and averaged 54.1 yards per touchdown reception. Played in 11 games in 2012. Redshirted in 2011 after suffering foot injury that required surgery before season started. Led Leroy High School (Ala.) to Class 2A State Championship, earning MVP honors with 5 catches for 60 yards and 2 touchdowns. ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Looks the part. Long legs with well-proportioned frame. Outstanding combination of size and speed. Good acceleration off the snap for a receiver with his length. Can take top off defense and open up the underneath. Will beat bold cornerbacks over the top if they wait to turn and run. Forces cornerbacks onto their heels and gets easy, open looks on dig routes. Makes easy in-cut with maximum separation. Ability to win big plays vertically. Saved best performances for big games. Put 206 yards and two touchdowns on Alabama in 2014. WEAKNESSES Won't be on quarterback's Christmas card list. Wasn't always on same page with Auburn QB Nick Marshall. Unreliable target. Inexplicable focus drops in all areas of the field. Doesn't play with extended catch radius. Had a drop rate of 19.1 percent. Vertical receiver without vertical feel. Inconsistent play speed. Will gear down too easily on deep routes, turning catchable touchdowns into "overthrows." Suspect ball tracking. Must improve at using body to ward off defenders. Inconsistent with contested catches. Stiff hips and limited route runner. Slow to gather and turn it upfield on catch-and-runs. DRAFT PROJECTION Round 3 NFL COMPARISON Martavis Bryant BOTTOM LINE Big, fast and raw. Vertical wide receiver with the ability to hit big plays and have dominant games. Coates must be coached to trust his quarterback and run through his deep routes in order to reach his potential. He has early round traits and late-round receiving skills right now, but the upside will be hard to pass on and could pay off in a big way. He will be tethered to the JUGS machine in rookie camp.

Mudfly Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Can only hope the Browns find something there that the Stools couldnt.... At the same time, you'd think they could find a comparable talent on the waiver wire in just a few hours....for free.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Buffalo Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 So quick question on this, because I am seeing two different things. Some people are saying that we gave them our 2019 7th rounder and others are saying we got theirs. Wondering who is right. Regardless I don't see the harm, it basically comes down to a straight up player for player trade at the end of the day. He can't be any worse than what we have after Coleman.

Unsympathetic Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Now that we have completed this quest to acquire the NFL-caliber 2015 Auburn offensive starters [Shon Coleman, Ricardo Louis], do we get a draft pick? This move unlocks some sort of Madden dynasty bonus, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagitron Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I really like coates but with justin hunter playing well he was the odd man out. Hes strong as hell for a receiver with good speed. His hands arent the best and hes broken some fingers pretty badly. His one hand all things considered is pretty mangled for a wr. The browns made a smart move imo and im assuming this saved us from cutting him. I honestly expected him yo make the team but with juju getting drafted that should have been my first sign.

I'll take that trade. Basically Gilbert for Coates and a 7th... if you want to look backwards. And it you don't want to look backwards, then we swapped a 2019 6th for a 2018 7th, which in the NFL is an equal swap, and they gave us Coates. I'm good either way... 2 hours ago, Ghoolie said: Steelers get Haden, we get Coates. This is not a third way to look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck The Frowns Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Pgh is deep in wide receivers, and getting Bryant completely unsuspended 24 hours ago meant someone was likely to go. I thought Droppius Wayward-Boy would go. If Bryant gets caught again Pgh will wish they had Coates back. Meanwhile Pgh allegedly is in the hunt for T.J. Ward. They could have a half Browns def backfield that would actually be pretty good - if this was 2014. They seem to be rolling the dice more than usual this year.

Makes sense. When Bell does go on the open market, they will have to put extra shifts on at the US Mint to print enough money. OTOH he is not exactly Jim Brown in durability.. He has never completed a full season without injury. But there will be a big payday there unless he gets severely injured this season. Gotta admit though Pgh seems to know when to let a player go..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him but he wont be missed. We have Brown, bryant, juju, justin hunter and eli rogers. As far as ward is concerned mitchell is still hurt with no time table, thats the only way i see ward getting signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
