I taped the Mizzu - Illinios game and watched Coffman carefully. He is a big kid, the TV announcers said he was 6'7" and 245, but I think he is a couple of inches shorter and maybe a little lighter.
Mizzu plays in a funky spread offense, so it was difficult to scout him effectively, as I would have preferred to be on the sidelines. I did notice that Coffman has NFL hands. He can pluck the ball with the best of them. He runs decent routes, although he floats at times and does round off routes quite a bit. He absolutely can not block. Not a lick, he is a leaner and not even good at that. I also do not think he is as fast as advertised, he is maybe 4.7 range. And lastly, he does not appear to have much courage in the physical game. (Maybe he is dinged up and I did not know it.) He had several opportunities to put his head down and barrell through guys for extra yards, instead he tried jumping over them or peeling off for the sidelines. He reminds me of a taller version of a former Patriot Pro Bowl TE - Cook, from B-BP era, before Bill Parcells. I love Coffman's hands, but I just wish he was more nasty. Maybe if we take him, he can room with Mankins and some of Mankin's nastiness will rub off on Coffman. |

Coffman was coming off off-season surgery...so the question is, has Ochmed rewatched him since this game and seen any improvement in his routes, toughness, mentality, and blocking? (I'm assuming speed is phucked.)

I have watched several more Mizzu games since then and I am convinced that he can help us a ton next season, if only as a red zone receiver, until he learns to block.
His hands are NFL ready, his route running is decent enough for the NFL and his ability to use his size to shield or wall off defenders is NFL ready. I think he will run a 4.7 in the combine, which is slower than Watson's time, but I think he'll be a much more productive pro once he learns to block, provided he has the courage for the job. Coffman in the second round is a no brainer in my opinion. |

Coffman is huge, looks like he has decent athleticism especially for his size, is that alone + a good work ethic and a nastiness enough to turn him into a good blocker at TE? Was Graham, for instance, already a noted nasty blocker coming out of Colorado?

Blocking is about 1.) sound technique (teachable) and 2.) the courage(desire) to impose your will on an opponent (internal fire - not teachable). IF you have those two ingredients, the rest is gravy. Last edited by Ochmed Jones; 11-17-2008 at 07:30 PM. |

Good enough, he's on my board.

I think Beckum runs faster, but is not as precise a route runner. And finally neither of them could block my 96 year old granny. They would both be face up on the ground with wheelchair skid marks across their chest. |
