I’m kind of excited to see if the light can go on for Shorter. He won’t major in sharp, precise routes, but his size is outstanding and looks like he improved his hands after some drop issues earlier. Someone posted a video of him training and his body shows that he is a hard worker. Hoping he can be a good backup receiver here who can contribute as a deep threat and a big body in the middle of the field. Especially considering MLB typically calls the D. That’s a lot to put on a rookie from a bit lower level of competition.

Built like a bigger T.O. Or like Shannon Sharpe. He sure seems like he works hard.

After watching him against LSU, I am surprised that the draft gurus had him rated so low. Clear physical tools outstanding size and very good speed for that size. 41 catches in 2021, missed some games with injury in 22 but averaged 19+ per catch. He is reportedly a special teams Gunner, as well. Also, remember that Florida was floundering enough that they fired their coach after 2021. For the 5th round, there appears to be plenty of talent to justify the pick.

Know anything about him?

Damn vohees gone.

Rookies don’t always make the team. Not unheard of.

Good job, another pick for next year.

Traded out again.

Could be, I was mainly trying to be funny. Seems we have connections with Pitt coaching staff.

Seeing Jax pick reminds me, probably have to get a guy from Pitt.

Funny!

They might not have any draftable players left on their board, but a 6th (probably pretty early) next year is probably more valuable than this pick was.

Traded out

It really seems time to take Vorhees and red shirt him.

What about the tall DE from Army Andre Carter?

That’s right. Even packaging those two picks would not move them up very much in the round according to the draft trade value chart I looked at.

Florida had some bad coaching and program was struggling prior to new coach arriving last year. No doubt that they can recruit some top talent, maybe looking for some top athletes who might be behind a bit due to the program’s struggles.

I just watched him vs LSU. Big, muscular guy. I did not see body catching in that game. He can get deep with his size/speed, but as scouting reports I saw said, he isn’t a dynamic route runner. Cutting sharply at his size is a challenge. In that game, his size allowed him to shield defenders with his body on over the middle plays. I know 1 game is not scouting, but I can see a little of what they like. I also read that, as I guessed, he is a gunner on ST.

Anyone have any idea what teams don’t like about Antonio Johnson and JL Skinner? I think Wypler is still there because he is really only a C and most teams like multi-position OL.

Agree, curious pick. I’m guessing he likes to play ST.

That was what I was suggesting.

I think it means they have a number of guys with similar grades, so willing to drop back 13.

Probably got Washington 6th. Maybe package the two 6ths to come back up.

Called it, they traded down.

Won’t be surprised if they try to trade down a bit, but I think some decent prospects still there.
