Dynasty Summary: While there isn’t much Corey Coleman can do at this point that would put him ahead of Laquon Treadwell or Josh Doctson in the minds of NFL player personnel types, he should be at the forefront after those two are off the board. From an athleticism standpoint, Coleman has no equals in this wide receiver class. If there is one receiver from this class who has the upside to be a top five kind of dynasty asset if they hit their ceiling, that player would be Corey Coleman. He has the ability to win in the “small” game (speed, quickness, agility, route running) and the “big” game (strength, high-pointing passes, competitiveness at the catch point). Despite the shortcomings he has in terms of size and especially arm length, Coleman should be a first round pick in the NFL draft. One place I would love to see him land would be the Cincinnati Bengals who all of a sudden have a huge hole to fill across from AJ Green after the departure of both Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu in free agency. It’s plausible he could still be around for them at the 24th overall selection in the first round.In dynasty rookie drafts you will almost certainly have to spend a top five pick to acquire Corey Coleman. In ten rookie mocks at DLF during the month of March he has an ADP of 5.5, just ahead of Derrick Henry.
Rotoworld: 8. Where He Wins: Functional athleticism helped Coleman win both “small” and “big” while at Baylor, and the latter is difficult to find with a 5’11/194 lbs receiver. Coleman will win contested catches, elevating over corners or adjusting with body control to haul in targets. Add that on top of vertical speed, quickness in and out of breaks and yards after catch ability, and Coleman has the tools to be an all-around receiver.
Mike Mayock: "He's a dynamic playmaker. Think Percy Harvin, that's the kind of playmaker that he is. He has a quick start and explosive speed. The only key for him is that he hasn't run a route tree. You will have to manufacture touches for him as he learns the route tree. He's special with the football in his hands." --
