He admittedly sees Coleman as a boom/bust pick. His criticisms on Coleman are pretty much conceded. His grade has more to do with his lack of improvement from 2012 to 13. As a draft analyst, it doesn't make sense for him to grade based on the earliest possibility. He even mentions it only takes one team.
In all, I don't see anything earth shattering about his review. He doesn't allow for bad QB play as much as others and if I were to agree on that, I'd grade him similarly. I don't though and I think injury robbed him of the explosiveness we saw in 2012. It wasn't like he blew and MCL or anything so I don't expect there to be lingering issues with his knee. At any rate, it's a risk we'll know a lot more about when the team pores over his records. I do think we'll take him higher -- as we did with Irvin. And Wagner. And Wilson.
And Jeremiah will be right on some of them. Irvin was a day 2 pick. Period. He never should have been taken in the top 32. If some other team wanted him that bad, Seattle should have let him go elsewhere. He is just nowhere near day 1 quality and that track record is now well established. No rabid hawks homer is going to defend that pick anymore. He'll be a 27 going on 28 year old veteran who isn't starting material.
I just don't agree on this particular case.
