xSICKxWITHxITx Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 ESPN Falcons reporter Vaughn McClure expects Atlanta to "prioritize" running back in the draft.McClure specifically mentions Indiana RB Tevin Coleman as a possible target at No. 42 overall. Coleman had a pre-draft visit with the Falcons, and coach Dan Quinn came away impressed. "For us, were going to be wide-zone team, so we like guys who can make the cut and then play aggressive with the ball in their hands," Quinn said. Coleman (5-foot-11, 206) has all the tools as a back who can cut and get upfield, catch the ball out of the backfield, and pass protect a bit.Related: FalconsSource: ESPN.com Apr 29 - 9:15 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Hitter Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 McClure is on a roll. The other day he said he think the Falcons will target Leonard Williams in round 1 and now Tevin Coleman in round 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADBABY Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I have given Coleman my stamp of approval as well. He is trying to scorenot run up the back of his blockers and fall down as is the case with thedime a dozen RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Kent™ Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Been my fav RB since day 1. Please draft this dude. Honestly though i think we are going to go for a thicker back like Cobb/Ajayi size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanish_falcon Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Would rather have a LB at 42 like Kendricks/Dawson. I think we can have a good Rb in the 3rd. Amongst Yeldon/Abdullah/Coleman/Ayaji/Duke Johnson at least 1 should be there in the 3rd imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMT11 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Coleman was also injured all year playing through some ankle injuries etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED_N_BLACK_98 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) I've been so against going offense in the first two rounds but suddenly this makes sense to me. Edited April 29, 2015 by RED_N_BLACK_98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I havent watched enough of Tevin Coleman but everything I've read suggests he's not a guy I want on this team. Everything I've read says he's impatient and a "go go go go" guy. In a ZBS, you've gotta have Coleman's decisiveness but you also have to have patient and the ability to read the field. I'd rather have Gurley, Abdullah, Yeldon, Duke, Cobb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis York Morgan Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I like Coleman, but like others have said, he's impatient. I'm in the camp that says you can't teach patience in a way that isn't artificial without damaging the RB's running style. His entire body of work is based off of hitting the hole a certain way. But Coleman will be good somewhere, I just doubt it'd be here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons Rage Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 That just doesn't make sense to say you can't teach patience. Patience is a voluntary action. It's not like quickness, speed, burst. Those are the things that can't be taught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer2 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'm surprised this many of you are on the Coleman bandwagon. I've been saying all off season I think the guy could be the best back in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
