GunnerBill Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Did Beane only watch Florida games? Shorter isn't a guy I have watched really. Seen snippets of him from watching other Florida offensive players. Think he is a bit one paced lacks a bit of burst. But he is a bigger bodied outside receiver which is something we don't have. Not sure I see him as a lock for the 53 though. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRH Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Took him pretty high according to his overall ranking. Seems like a possible Gabe replacement IF he develops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see him getting onto the 53. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transferred to Florida. Not much better. Best case he's Marcus Easley. The Bills just drafted a gunner in the 5th Round. It is not possible to more disappointed in this pick than I am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in reality this guy is 6'4" 220lb 4.52-40, he's the 3rd outside guy on the roster unless he's an absolute dummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Nice to add another red zone threat that’s open even when he’s not. He’s limited, but he served a specific purpose. Hope he makes the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donuts and Doritos Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 ESPN write up says "body catcher" "focus drops" but blocks well & can threaten vertically. So he's Gabe Davis. Drops is a bad word when talking about WR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCofNC Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Nice size, guess we’ll see what he’s got in camp. Going to be tough to crack the roster this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Shorter is tall and has size. Solid back up. Red zone size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkScrewHill Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 From SI “Shorter originally signed with nearby Penn State as a consensus five-star recruit. He was considered the No. 1 wide receiver in the country by 247Sports at the time, the second-highest-rated member of the Nittany Lions' signing class that year behind now-Dallas Cowboys All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons.” great pedigree but did not put it together in college. Boom or bust guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is right, he is a special teamer if he makes the team at all. Not a good WR. Disappointing. On to round 6. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes to because it's the only way he sees the field. This is the Taiwan Jones money saving replacement and that's if he pans out.

OldTimer1960 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
