Matty, this is the only point where I disagree.
I think Coles is best on the 10-15 yard crossing routes, ins, and hook patterns. This is the area where Mike Williams will probably excel.
Braylon Edwards might have more deep speed, but I still think we should look at trading down and picking up a pass rusher.
A guy like Craphonso Thorpe or Terrence Murphy will be able to be a real threat on the fly patterns, coming out of the slot, and will open up those crossing routes for Coles.
At RB, I think we should look at a guy like Kay-Jay Harris with our 4th round pick.
Come to think of it, the ideal situation would be to trade down from our #1 slot and pick up a 3rd rounder?
Then, we could go:
1st rounder: DE (Erasmus James or Mathias Kiwanuka)
3rd rounder: C (Ben Wilkerson or Vince Carter)
3rd rounder: WR (Craphonso Thorpe or Terrence Murphy)
4th rounder: RB (Kay-Jay Harris)
6th rounder: OL/DL/LB project
7th rounder: OL/DL/LB project
