  • I am saying no here just because it seems to becoming more and more normal and the teams are allowing it to happen. If it was affecting their draft stock then they probably wouldn’t be doing it.

    Instead, they can hold their own day, on their terms, with the players they are familiar with, and these NFL teams show up like it’s all fine and dandy.

    There is more than one approach when maximizing a QB's best abilities and weaknesses. One way, like in the days of Cam Newton, the team would surround him with bigger-bodied targets, a.k.a Kelvin Benjamin, Devin Funchess, and Greg Olsen to give him wide-ranging targets. Or with elite separators that QBs can use a "see open and throw" approach, like Newton had with Steve Smith. Either approach allows the QB to be less dependent on their anticipation skills or lack thereof. A similar approach is being put in place right now with Allen drafting Coleman as their top pick. Samuel has flat-out not been overly productive nor reliably available throughout his career. Shakir has yet to prove he can be a target earner even when he had the opportunity last season. Furthermore, those two WRs are more likey to eat into each other and be hindered by Kincaid more so than Coleman. Shakir lined up in the slot 78.1% of the time and Samuel lined up in the slot 68.9% of the time last season. Coleman figures to command the main X WR perimeter position with more solidified playing time. BTW, TRUE accuracy is not a stat you have to pay for to find.
