A poor man's Patterson (Laviska Shenault Jr.)

Looks like the new Jax regime has no use for Laviska Shenault.  He's only 23.  He has the size/tools similar to a Cordarrelle Patterson/Deebo Samuel.  Can run it out of the backfield, screens/sweeps and is a good short/middle area target with YAC upside.  

 

Has had issues getting open and drops. 

 

2y in league and 2 awful humans as HC (2 losing systems):  Marrone/Urban Meyer 

 

Could be a change of scenery to a winning org that lights the fire on his skillset.  

 

Could also be our 2 TE system and McKenzie eclipse anything we could do with him.  

 

Interesting weapon for an imaginative scheme

 

No mentions yet of the price tag Jax has on him.

He’d be good here, I think.

 

I don’t believe a 7th round pick gets it done. Woods was cheap because he’s a salary dump, soon-to-be 30 year old coming off a torn ACL.

 

Shenault is two seasons removed from being a 1st round pick, is young and healthy cheap labor.

 

If they’d take a mid round pick, say a 4th, I’d be in. Talented guy.

If we're looking at a "traditional" wr, I've always liked Jamison Crowder. He's definitely not a #1 type, but I think he would do a lot better than Sanders did here. Should be cheap enough too.

Then, draft a WR in the mid rounds, unless a stud falls to us in rounds 2-3.

Considering Shenault’s stats and Davis’ stats are almost identical with Davis having over twice as many TD’s, maybe a 5th?

I have little interest in a receiver who can't get open. Maybe he'll switch to being mainly a rb like Patterson. He's still had some production as a receiver in his first two seasons and may be able to improve his route running.

He definitely wasn’t a 1st round pick.

The Bills will probably look to replace some of Beasley’s production which is someone who can get open - produce a relatively high volume of catches who you can trust on third down to make a play.

 

Laviska is not that guy.   If McKenzie hadn’t of signed with the Bills then having that gadget role may have been available for a Laviska sort of player.    
 

I could be wrong but I don’t think they go this route.

If Robert Woods is getting a 6th, I’d offer them a 7th. 

The return for woods was only a 6 because his cap hit is huge and he's coming off an acl tear.

 

This guy is much younger and much cheaper, so it would take a lot more than a 7th to get him.
