Well to average fan, it's a position of strength and he isn't rated super high on sites nor is he getting much play from anyone...
But I did find this...

Underrated Prospects
I’ve saved the best for last, we can finally talk about underrated prospects and the value they may carry in the draft. The objective of the draft is to ultimately find the best value. Each year we put stock into post draft grades, which typically mean nothing but fun to do. However, these grades are typically structured based on perceived value. Whether it’s a special teams demon or a clutch fifth receiver, value is the key to sustained success in the NFL.
Laviska Shenault Jr. will Lead Rookie Wide Receivers in Total Yards Through Year Three
If you like physical ball carriers, you’ll probably love Shenault. If you like versatile players that are considered positionless, you’ll probably love Shenault. Shenault shows the ability to win as an X-receiver, slot-receiver, and the play speed to threaten as a z-receiver. That’s not even the best part, Shenault is extremely efficient and productive as a ball carrier and wildcat quarterback. In off coverage, Shenault eats up defensive backs with sneaky fast play speed. In man coverage, he shows a clean release that he pairs with elite play strength, creating separation at the top of his route.
That sounds good and all, so why is he projected to go late day two? Well, that’s a good question. I think a lot of it has to do with the perception that this guy is a positionless player, and there might be some confusion on how to use him. Shenault is the epitome of versatility and that can be extremely difficult to identify for evaluators. When teams are setting their big board, it’s typically based on collective group thinking. A player with so much versatility can end up with a range of evaluations. There’s also some concern about a recent core muscle surgery, adding to a list of football injuries that Shenault had to deal with at Colorado. Want a piece of advice regarding the former Buffalo? Don’t overthink him.
