Is it just me, or does this regime seem to have an unhealthy obsession with slot receivers?

 

I think they're giving away the type of offense they're going to run.

Bio: 
One-year starter who was limited to six games after breaking his clavicle in 2017, returning for the team’s final two games after initially being ruled out for the season. Caught 21 passes for 337 yards and one touchdown. Started seven games as a junior and made 43 catches for 597 yards and three scores. Combined for 27 receptions, 331 yards and one score in his first two seasons with the Tar Heels.
 
Pos: 
Small but incredibly quick receiver who plays much faster than his 40 time. Fluidly releases off the line of scrimmage, sells routes and can turn it on in a single step. Displays a deep burst, easily makes receptions in stride down the field and displays focus and concentration. Comes back to the ball, adjusts to errant throws and consistently snatches passes away from his frame. Possesses quick, strong hands.
 
Neg: 
Small and struggles in battles. Lacks true deep speed and a second gear. Marginally productive returning punts.
 
Analysis: 
Proehl has size limitations but is a natural receiver with outstanding quickness and the ability to separate from defenders. He offers potential as a slot receiver and return specialist if healthy.

Better than Ray Ray but I think Trey Quinn is better than both. I think Proehl can make the team though.

 

really interesting that Buffalo didn’t address outside WR spots at all. 

 

Or TE

 

I really hope next year we get stud WR and TE, along with a freaking Right Tackle.

Garbage pick to end a garbage draft. Very unimpressed.

 

I forgot. I guess these picks have a wealth of NFL experience that you can gauge this opinion on.

 

We have absolutely no idea what kind of draft this is and you go out and say it's a garbage draft.

 

Get a clue please before you say this.

The staff must be expecting Zay to take a big step playing outside this year.

Hoping is more likely. They just didn't have the picks in the right place ( rounds 2-3) to get much WR help in this draft.
