WR Laviska Shenault 6'5/8" 227 lbs Colorado

[Rackeen305]

Was once ranked as the 8th best WR. But then required core surgery in March 2020. At combine ran 4.58 (40 yard dash). Should be cleared by doctor, on Friday of draft week.

 

Is he worth a late round pick?

If he is available Rounds 4 and later, yes. Just not Day 2, with all the needs we have, can't risk a pick on a player's rehab at our expense. Btw, he is 6'1", 227 lbs.

Hakeem Butler, he was highly touted here and on so many sites, went Round 4, pick 1, he was 6'5", 227 lbs. I think Laviska could have a similar outcome.

I liked Butler much better than Laviska this year. 

 

I don't think Shenault falls that far though. Still can't believe Butler fell that much. Too bad he got injured. I thought he can be great in the league. Let's see what he does next year.

Laviska may fall a bit, but the 40 time listed can’t be his normal speed....

 

Many videos of him pulling away from DBs..... seems like 4.4 to 4.5

 

The guy plays like a RB, and gets great YAC

Read somewhere, he is one of the “boom or bust” WR’s in the draft. I actually like him, but rather have Pittman. 

[Defjamz26]

Shenault is not good. He’s Cordarelle Patterson. He’s barely a receiver. Hard pass.

 Unlikely he is on our draft board.

[chad72]

What do you guys think of Quintez Cephus for our system? I feel he is versatile enough to play inside and outside and fights for the ball real well. He is a possession guy, no matter where you play him at but is the kind of guy who will give you key first downs by fighting for the ball.

 

Round 4 seems about right?

[bertjones7]

Cephus is a player that I really like in 4th rd or later.  Both Ohio St cbs (Okudah, Arnette) said he was the toughest WR they faced (over the Clemson guys etc...).

 

He is not a blazer, but thought he would run a 4.55-4.60 at the combine.  Instead he ran a slow 4.73 at the combine but came back with a 4.56 at his pro day.  I know pro day times can't always be trusted but that seems more in line with his game day speed.

First of all, I am not a fan of Shenault at all. He has poor separation on most routes because he doesn't run great routes and he doesn't have the speed to match it. He is more of an imposing athlete, not a player. Sure, when he has the ball in his hands, he'll be fine, but that wouldn't happen often as he would be covered so tightly, unable to separate.

 

With that being said, he is going round 2, not as a late rounder. I would value him around the 4th round, but he will go much higher than that and therefore it's a hard pass from me. He is currently my WR12 on my big boards, and has been steadily dropping over the past few months. He's a guy I'm staying away from.

Huge catch radius bad QB his senior year. Hardly any drops. I would think about it at 44. Definitely draft him at 75.

Did I say huge catch radius.
