Jonah ColemanDEN

Fernando Mendoza rates Jonah Coleman overvalued by approximately one to one-and-a-half rounds, placing him at the end of the third round (pick 36) rather than his current draft position. Coleman lacks the power and quickness of elite backs; Mendoza watched him against Weber State and better teams and did not see him running through many hits. His pass protection is merely 'get in the way' rather than technical, which Mendoza views as a recipe for disaster. Coleman's draft value is further challenged by his inability to separate in crowded offensive rooms and lack of system fit; he couldn't start in the correct system and won't stand out in a crowded backfield. Given Sean Payton's historical struggles drafting running backs after the fourth round, Mendoza sees Coleman as a situational committee member similar to Audrey Estime, with the combination of contact balance and explosion falling short.

Source transcript excerpt
Jonah Coleman, running back for the Denver Broncos... I have him overrated by basically a round and a round and a half almost... not very quick, not very fast... I see him as a situational committee member... this guy couldn't start in a the correct system, but like if he goes to a crowded room, he's not going to set himself apart
