Maybe that explains it.

Preferred Doctson but Coleman is a Top Five receiver in this draft as it depends on what your are looking for. With Coleman you get a gut that is 1) Fast and 2) he can catch the ball. Needs some work on routes though. I don't see the Browns doubling up on receivers at the top of the 2nd. Sill have Myles Jack sitting there but can the Browns take that chance?

The jury is still out on all of the WR taken last night but I will say this. Coleman better be higher than just a top five receiver in this draft. He was the very first WR taken off the board.

Arguments can be made about who the Browns should have taken but its really a moot point. The Browns have multiple needs and they have their own Big Board. Between the 16 and 31 picks, I saw three guys where an argument can be made for the pick at 15 other than Coleman. Decker, Doctson and Treadwell. Like I said I liked Doctson more than Coleman but I'm not making the picks. The Browns were looking for speed at the WR position and got it. Solid pick at a position of need

As Buckeye fans, we constantly rip on Baylor for using a gimmicky air raid offense, for being in a conference that plays absolutely no defense, for playing the weakest schedule in college football, and for running up the score against all those patsies.

Then the Browns spend the #15 overall pick on the player who was the primary beneficiary of Baylor's air raid, patsy-thumping, stat-inflating offense, and now as Browns fans we're supposed to be excited about this selection?

Last season, Browns fans endlessly complained about having a bunch of sub-six-foot wide receivers. Coleman is a sub-six-foot wide receiver.

Last season, Browns fans endlessly complained about wide receivers dropping passes. Coleman dropped 10 passes in 2015, for a drop rate of 11.9%.

Every draft, Browns fans complain about reaching for players. Coleman was generally projected to be drafted #22-#25, and was almost certainly not the best player available at #15; he probably wasn't even the best wide receiver available.

EDIT: Baylor football has been under a ton of scrutiny lately, and the Browns have been burned by two former Baylor players (Phil Taylor, Josh Gordon). I hope that the Browns did their due diligence with Coleman.
