3. Corey Coleman, Baylor
Similarly to Fuller, former Baylor receiver Corey Coleman is one of the few burners in this draft class with an ability to excel as a deep threat in the NFL, and he (of course) heavily struggles with drops.
Though he didn’t run at the scouting combine, Coleman ran a 4.37 40-yard dash at his Pro Day March 16, via NFL.com.
On top of his high drop percentage, Coleman has yet to perfect his route tree, as he wasn’t asked to run a variety of routes within Baylor’s offensive scheme. Also, Baylor head coach Art Briles reportedly valued his receivers’ stamina over their performance as run blockers within his scheme, so Coleman lacks experience as a run blocker.
On a lighter note, Coleman is an elite receiver when running the few routes he has perfected, and his top-tier quickness and burst allows him to turn short screen passes and underneath routes into electrifying plays after the catch.
Coleman will have some growing pains when it comes to polishing his route-running ability and improving his hands, but his playmaking potential is enough for NFL teams to pull the trigger on him somewhere in the first round.
