Corey Coleman fills all three criteria.
“I looked up to Kendall Wright, Terrance Williams and Josh Gordon when he was there”, Coleman said.
With that No. 15 pick, the Browns selected Baylor receiver Corey Coleman, a 2015 consensus All-American and the victor of the Biletnikoff Award, given to the nation’s top collegiate receiver. They then acquired the No. 29 pick in Round 5 (No. 166 overall) from the Patriots in a trade and that will ultimately be the final selection of the 2016 NFL Draft for the Texans.
This is probably the reason why the Browns had no problems with trading down to the No. 8 spot in the draft picks.
Coleman won the Fred Biletnikoff Award last season, given to the nation’s top receiver. He’s tremendously productive – a dynamic playmaker.
“We had a first-round grade on him, so we were hopeful and really pleased leaving last night that he sat there waiting on us”, said Sashi Brown, the Browns vice president of football operations, said of Ogbah. Need and talent intersected for the Browns in a way they were happy with; how it turns out, though, will have to wait until the season gets underway. The Browns scored just 28 TDs and offensive weapons to put defenses on edge.
Pasztor and Coleman are similar in size, but Coleman is a bit more athletic. “He can light it up from anywhere on the field”. He caught 74 passes, 20 of them for 30 yards or more.
The NFL draft continues this weekend and the Browns have 11 more picks to make – six of those in the top 100. He was the second pick of the round and the 65th overall of the draft.
“There’s not a lot of guys at 270-plus pounds who can do what Emmanuel can do, period”, Brown said.
Coleman received his master’s in Adult Education in December of past year.
I didn’t think they were interested in me at all”, Doctson said, “so that’s why I was saying it was so sudden and abrupt to be picked by the Redskins.
During Coleman’s visit, Jackson showed him video of Bengals Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green.
“It’s insane”, Coleman said.
Here’s Bob Sturm’s breakdown of Ogbah’s game: “He is a very explosive player who is willing to battle hard throughout a play – regardless of how much attention he is getting”.

There were many experts who felt the Packers didn’t necessarily hit it out of the park because of all the higher rated defensive linemen ahead of Clark, but most were also kind to Ted Thompson and the Packers – giving them an average of about a B for a grade.
