geeze I'm sure they can find something for him to do.

Once again, Bean is choosing picks to make this offense bigger and more physical. This might be a great pick if he can refine his game. Gabe replacement if needed.

I had my eye on WR Boutte from LSU personally for his upside and don't know much about Shorter.  But like the idea of grabbing a big target

we have the strangest collection of non-prototype size and measureables of WRs in the NFL.  

He fits a specific trait. Kumerow did Hodgins Did. Beane has said they look for mismatches. What is missing in this group right now is that 6’3 220 WR. I figured one was coming. I just had higher prospects than him at this point.

Late rounds aren’t really an area where BPA should be argued. At this point you’re basically drafting guys with specific traits that fit what you want to do. 

Agreed. Many 5th rounders don’t even make the team. He’s got traits that can be coached. If it doesn’t work it doesn’t work but the process is sound 

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Injuries are his biggest detractor

[MAJBobby]

He did have a private workout with Bills too. He just mentioned it on WGR. 

[Big Blitz]

Gabe Davis is only 1 year older then him.  
 

Crazy to me still the expectations on Davis - but also what an actual find he’s been. 

[ColoradoBills]

Is it true the Bills interviewed him?  

There are 5 locked WRs so he seems to have the inside track for the 6th spot among the Reserve/Futures guys and some UDFAs.

It will be fun seeing if the big man can tune-up his weaknesses.

Probably not a popular opinion on this board but remind me of kelvin Benjamin. I know he sucked here but he produced his first few years in carolina

I think this draft is showing a commitment to improving their red zone offense. Between Kincaid, a monster sized guard and a monster sized wideout? That plays imo.

Those shuttle and 3-cone scores aren't that much better than the actual cones.

On your mark, get ready, get set, Go!

Shakir is the Gabe replacement, Shorter is the depth WR we all love replacement. He needs to hone his craft and develop. I do like this pick, I suspect he will look great this summer

Just generally imposing their will

on defenses a bit more instead of having to rely on perfect execution.

Worst case scenario he'll be a good decoy downfield to open things for our smurf receivers.

Benjamin’s problem was motivation.
