SuperSteelers 1 Posted August 18, 2015 Sounds like he will be getting first-team reps in the team's second preseason game. He's been pretty noticeable during camp. What can we expect from this guy this year. The situation looks pretty good. Drew Brees at QB, Sean Payton coaching em' up, Colston a year older and Jimmy Graham shipped to SEA. He's 6'6" and sounds like the perfect candidate for red zone targets. Did I mention they shipped Kenny Stills (who I like a lot) to Miami. So any NO fans around who can chime in?

Mr Neil 63 Posted August 19, 2015 He has the been on my deep sleeper list in keepers. He is a Colston clone. And Colston runs like he is in mud. I'm drafting him to be the WR2 on that team by week 6. That's my two cents as a saints fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted August 19, 2015 Now this is good information......a true potential sleeper, which is getting darn hard to come by. With Colston being old and Graham gone, this kid could make some noise if he surpasses Looney Toon on the depth chart. Let's remember, Brees is gonna get his 4,000+ yards. Who's gonna be at the receiving end? Here is a scouting report from NFL.com and a comparative analysis between Coleman, Benjamin, and Evans from Bleacher. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profiles/brandon-coleman?id=2543642 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1976662-why-brandon-coleman-is-the-big-wr-bargain-of-the-2014-nfl-draft 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted August 19, 2015 Love this kid and the cat is nearly out of the bag, sorry Flagator. He's 6'6 and while not a burner, he's not a plodder. People concerned that Brees doesnt have weapons will regret saying that. Brees makes his own weapons and was chucking up top QB fantasy seasons before Graham got to town with total JAGs at wr. Nick Toon has already been relegated to playing Eurekas castle with the Rugrats on the bench. He's JAG, Coleman is not. I'm targeting him as a wr3-4 with Wr2 upside. All the things we are saying about John Brown this year are things we will be saying about this kid next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying to find a round in which to target him. 2-3 keepers, 12-team league. Think 9-10th round would be sufficient? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly all the guys going from rnd 10 on are crapshoots anyway and there are no reaches to me at that time. You could take Brown, coleman, Funchess 10,11,12 and I wouldnt flinch.

Kent 228 Posted August 20, 2015 Would you take Devin Funchess over Coleman with the Kelvin Benjamin news? I wouldn't take Funchess at all. He's not a KB clone. He's tall and big, but he's not the same wideout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted August 20, 2015 6'6 and runs a 4.5 and in an offense that throws 600 times a season. Ya, i'm buying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted August 29, 2015 I drafted him last night, pulled the trigger with higher ranked players on the board. Problem is he can't catch, but going on instinct he fits what the Saints liked about Graham and Colston, primarily tall with great wing span, ie mismatch.

NEWPOSTERGUY! 266 Posted August 29, 2015 Problem is he can't catch - might be a wee bit of a problem for a wr, just sayin' and what about the other kid, Jones? heard he was having a better camp ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted August 29, 2015 Jones has stuck through his play but I think Coleman gets the chances because of the possibility for mismatch. He just has to do something with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbyn2022 53 Posted August 31, 2015 He's been having a great camp. He has drew throwing him the ball and he's as accurate as they come. The 6'6 height will help a ton with a QB like Bree's. Think this kid has a real chance to be special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,037 Posted September 1, 2015 Watched him in the preseason. He seems to like to catch with his body, and he doesn't seem to ever get seperation. That's allowing defensive backs to break up passes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray_T 589 Posted September 1, 2015 There is a lot to like. I watched some (but not all) of the tape. lots of times he got open, but the QB missed the throw. This (to me at least) would explain the low receiving numbers. I saw some nice catches, but I also saw a couple of bad drops. I think there is potential for sure, but he may need a year(possibly two) to polish his skill set. He may be ready sooner, I guess it really depends on how quickly he picks up the NFL game and advances his game. Based on what I did see, I currently see him as a WR3 on his own team this year, with some upside. He has WR2 potential, but may take some time getting there. certainly a player to watch.

All the things we are saying about John Brown this year are things we will be saying about this kid next year. The top QB's always make their own weapons. Nobody had heard of Colston until brees started tossing him the ball. a number of pittsburgh and Green Bay receivers put up huge numbers with Rothlisberger, Farve, or Rodgers, and then mediocre numbers elsewhere when they leave. Cruz was a nobody until Eli Manning started tossing him the ball. the list goes on. Having a great QB throwing you the ball is a huge advantage to a young WR. There are receivers who can overcome this and put up numbers regardless of the QB, but those would be the premium talents. Even then, if the QB is off target more than 50% of the time, it takes a hugely talented receiver to catch the ball and make something of the play. just something to keep in mind. So yeah, if the kid has talent, Brees will make something out of him. we shall see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, I'm all in on Cooks with his situation and abilities this year.....but I contend that he is no Sammy Watkins. Also, back to Coleman......it seems that he does have the support of Brees, which is huge. NO - WR Brandon Coleman praised by QB Source: NewOrleansSaints.com New Orleans Saints WR Brandon Coleman has developed comfortability with QB Drew Brees. Brees said he is pleased with the training camp and preseason Coleman has had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
