Agreed that Coleman is garbage.

Not disagreeing on your general ranking ... but how does a "garbage" player have a 4TD day? I would say he's a functional NFL RB but just a reserve.

He's right up there with Al Bundy, for sure.
Coleman has some strengths. Well, one anyway. He's fast, and if he gets in the open field, he's a threat to score at any time. But he's an upright runner with below average vision, minimal wiggle and less power who holds this offense back when he is on the field IMO. Sure, he's a functional NFL RB, but so are a ton of guys - including a bunch who aren't even in the league. If he cost us $500K a year instead of $5 million, I'd be more amenable to keeping him on the squad. But I'd rather have one of the undrafted rookies on the roster over him, and that might be true even if they were making the same amount.

That's kind of a description of Jeff Wilson too, though Wilson has more power but Coleman is a better blocker. All of the RBs last year were kind of one dimensional.

Wilson is MUCH more powerful. And probably a better receiver. He's also scheduled to make $750K this year. If that was the price tag for Coleman, fine. But he's being paid like a starting RB, so that's the standard by which he's evaluated. And by that standard, he's bad.

Early rumor numbers I've seen is that this contract, annually, is likely going to exceed $15M per year. Something changed in the last 24-48 hours, for sure with those reports of slow progress. Regardless, it appears that Kittle is going to be with the 49ers for several more years.

If he doesn't pan out, that one is going to sting. I'm on record the day of the draft saying we should have taken McLaurin.
