Reception Perception just released on the man I will call, "CoCo Butter," our major key to success that's slippery as F.
Wanted Treadwell, but I trust them to have chosen the right one. 20 touchdowns later, I believe they picked the best WR in the draft. Excited to see the swath of 2nd day picks come in now with the Harvard boys.

Browns make a refreshing first pick in their new analytics era

The draft strategy that could save the Browns from QB purgatory]
Coleman was immensely productive in his final college season racking up 1,363 yards and 20 touchdowns. His 1.7 touchdowns scored per game rate was the highest among the top prospects. Coleman underscored his impressive profile with a 4.37 40-yard dash, 129-inch broad jump and 40 1/2-inch vertical. Those figures were at or above the 90th percentile among receivers tested since 1999,
per MockDraftable.
But even with all that data indicating future NFL success, many analysts questioned his ability to translate to the pro game, with many of the hang-ups a result of his role in the Baylor offense.
Baylor’s offense only puts together a simplistic route tree for its wide receivers. In the six games sampled for his evaluation, the screen, slant, curl and nine routes accounted for 82.6 percent of Coleman’s 121 charted routes. He will require time and seasoning in learning to run the full route tree, especially digs and out-breaking routes. But the Browns still have a true playmaker on their hands.
Top NFL receivers are often assigned similar route inventories.
A prospect’s ability to “run the full route tree” is an overblown criticism recycled year after year by the scouting community. Projecting a player from the college level to the NFL is more about identifying translatable traits and their execution in their assignments. Coleman passes that test with flying colors. His success rate vs. coverage (SRVC) scores, which measures how often a player creates separation and gets open, indicates he could develop into a full-time receiver.
