Yeah - part of why I say Beane can't evaluate WR talent is because he doesn't even try to land great wide receivers.
In his six drafts as the Bills GM, the highest draft pick Beane has used on a wide receiver is a 4th rounder, which is absurd:
2018
Ray-Ray McCloud (6th)
Austin Proehl (7th)
2019
None
2020
Gabe Davis (4th)
Isaiah Hodgins (6th)
2021
Marquez Stevenson (6th)
2022
Khalil Shakir (5th)
2023
Justin Shorter (5th)
So I say he can't evaluate WR talent because year in and year out I see wide receivers that would be very valuable to the Bills drafted by other teams and Beane constantly lets them pass by.
