Logic Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 James Cook, Khalil Shakir, and Isaiah McKenzie are all guys who can and have played in the backfield, the slot, and outside, and who have jet sweep/gadget utility. If he so chooses, Ken Dorsey now has the weaponry to employ quite a bit of creativity, motion, and misdirection on offense. The Bills offense appears to be leaning into the "position-less offensive players" movement. 3 Quote

That combined with hie YAC ability, he has a ton of upside. Seems like he just needs to clean up some focus drops. And for everyone whining that the Bills didn't add a YAC WR on day one or two... There are YAC WRs available on day 3 of every single draft. That's where the value is for that skill set. Expand That's what is impressing me the most. He's not just burning guys in his YAC, he's just being really slippery and weaving through the DBs, very intriguing. Quote
par73 Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Really like Shakir-- great value in the 5th round. Now add a DB or two with remaining picks. 1 Quote

He is a combination of McKenzie's and Beasley's skill sets but with more size. In fact I think McKenzie's spot on the roster is now in question. I can't foresee us rostering three slot receivers. Expand people have been trying to get rid of McKenzie for years, and he always beats out the competition. That’s what I love about him. 1 2 Quote

The second of those is correctable. The first is just a physical limitation I'm not sure there is much you can do about that. We'll see but if he is going to have a good NFL career it will be in the slot and as a gimmick guy IMO. Expand That's fair enough. I don't see who ends up as Diggs backup if Diggs is #1 and Davis is #2 then. I think Shakir has the speed and enough size to play outside some of the time. I'll bet you 2 pence Shakir ends up on the depth chart both outside and in the slot 🪙. Edited April 30, 2022 by Motorin' Quote

Great body control, great hands, 4.43 speed, 6'0, 196 pounds, understands how to use leverage, can find soft spots in zone, two time First Team All-Mountain West and just a quick guy.

It does seem like he is quick, but might take a few steps to reach full speed. But that's just from me watching highlights Expand heard it on WGR Quote
Comebackkid Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 i think this kid is going to be a star. great hands and concentration. can catch in traffic, can go up for the ball and win one on ones in the air. has the speed to play deep and the shiftiness to play out of the slot as well. makes one handed catches look easy. he may not be elite in any one area but really good in just about every area. 1 1 Quote

ScorpionZero Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 I had him in a few of my mocks, but usually much earlier according to the big boards. He has inside outside versatility. Needs work on his routes to some extent, and to spend time with the juggs machine. 1 Quote

SCBills Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) The Buffalo Bills are no longer just a small market team when our 5th RD Pick, Khalil Shakir, is trending #3 in the USA. *Now Punt God also Top 10 trends Edited April 30, 2022 by SCBills 1 Quote
Buddo Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 That was an impressive highlight reel from early in the thread. Not often do you see a WR make so many spectacular catches. I was struck by how well he made adjustments to actually make those catches. With his speed, character, this appears to be a 'steal' where we've got him. 1 Quote
