NeverOutNick Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) He’s a big tough dude for sure just a little underwhelming because there were WRs on the board that could separate better than Shorter (Hutchison, Boutte, Perry, Washington). Hoping for the best here since the bills brought him in for a visit and private workout and seem to like him but in the back of mind I’m like man I wish they gave this pick up for Hopkins lol Edited April 29, 2023 by NeverOutNick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefan66 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) Nice 5th round pick. From the videos provided in this thread, he looks capable for sure. Of course, these are highlight videos, not bad play videos. From what I saw - strong. Good catch radius. Quick after the catch. And really important, knows where the sticks are - did a nice job getting open at the sticks for first downs. Also seems to track the ball well. Makes the roster, 3rd team to start and hopefully he works to move up the depth chart. Edited April 29, 2023 by davefan66 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydboy12 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Don’t think he makes the team but we’ll see. Would have preferred line help. First true miss for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s taken almost a generation for OBD to finally catch up to me- get big men that provide jump ball huge targets for your huge QB!

Alphadawg7 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 2 minutes ago, Einstein said: Who is he active over? Diggs Davis Hardy Shakir Sherfield No chance he is active over those guys, but he could be active as a 6th WR if he proves special teams value and he has experience on ST. That will be the ticket to his making the 53 and even more so to be active on Sundays. If he isn't a starter on ST, he can still make the 53 given his size, but he will have a hard time being active without injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 His size, weight and speed combination along with really big wingspan makes him intriguing for sure. Plus I read that he has gunner experience.

Success Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Love the "high ceiling" scouting stuff on late round picks. And I think BPA is really something for the 1st 2 rounds.
