Isaiah who?

That evaluation says he is better at long developing deep routes, not much of an underneath threat. Ken Dorsey is gonna love him!

This fits what I see. Needs to gear down to get in and out of breaks or routes get

really rounded.

Special Teams too with his size

He’s a reach. Has a history though of dropping balls. Time will tell.

Perfect replacement for Gabe then…😉

Guy is absolutely yoked. 

[Vickveto]

Should have taken Palmer 

[SCBills]

I think I read teams viewed Shorter as potentially converting him to a TE.  
 

He looks like, as of now, he’d make the team as outside depth. 
 

Gabe Davis body type and found a way to win deep at Florida despite not being a burner… again, similarly to Gabe. 
 

Looks like a physical freak and was an elite recruit, but hasn’t put it together.

Sounds like they are hoping to coach him up on his route running and maximize his physical attributes.

Don't know anytime about the player but like the position. They have 3 more picks. Should be 3 more recievers 

2 more picks, they don’t have a 7th?

He was a five-star recruit.

 

 

Yeah that was my first reaction.    One of a higher than normal number of former 5 stars(35) in this class that gets so little love. 

 

Also another player who may address the lack of size that I think showed up in the bad weather of that playoff loss.   Hard to be incredibly accurate outside the hashes in that stadium late in the year.   Bigger players in the passing game were a priority, IMO.    And a potential Gabe Davis replacement.     

 

I don't think he deserved the selection over what was left on the board at other positions but it's easy to see why.    This wasn't a BPA, IMO........this was another clear response to a perceived "short" on their current roster.

Two more picks in the sixth as of now.

[Fixxxer]

Out with the smurfs, in with Shorter..

[HappyDays]

There were a lot of former 5 star recruits in this class that never lived up to their potential in college. Bills got one of them.

[Success]

He looks huge in the highlights.  

 

I mean, why not?  It's the 5th round.  Seems to have all of the physical attributes a WR needs.  Maybe some good coaching will unleash some potential here.

Traded down with Washington, picked up an extra 6th

[aristocrat]

Team captain for Florida as well. I like the pick. Giving Allen weapons

He was a bust with two major college programs. May have been available as a FA. This after the baffling Williams pick.
