Big Turk Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Love the pick...can do pretty much anything from jet sweeps to returns, play inside, outside, attack all 3 levels of the D...high character and super competitive it says Have seen grades from round 2 to round 4 on him, comparison is Antwaan Randle-El 7 Quote
SCBills Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 ESPN guys love the pick. McShay had a late 3rd on him. Ok.. I’m good! I’ll shut up about WR now ha. 2 2 Quote
RyanC883 Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 fantastic pick. Competitive, can be used in multiple ways, saw a comp to Antwon Randle El, the great steelers 3rd WR/gadget guy. Quote
No_Matter_What Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 I wonder how Isaiah McKenzie feels right now 😏 Even if he is just s slot, there is a clear upside, and above all, he is a WR! Makes me happy. 1 Quote

zow2 Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 The ESPN guys love this pick so that’s good enough for me. Think he was a late 3rd, early 4th talent. Says he will be a headache for opposing defenses. Quote
RyanC883 Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 value wise, this is the Bills best pick so far. Lets trade another 6th and get the punter we need ! Quote
stevestojan Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 McKenzie’s replacement for next year with a year to learn the ropes. Great pick. Quote
Southern_Bills Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Not going to pretend to k own a ton about this guy (or even the 3rd round pick) but I will say you can tell they are drafting guys that fit their system which is a huge plus. No square pegs in a round hoke regardless of talent. 1 Quote

Makes me happy. He can basically do everything MacKenzie does but probably better... Lil Dirty is probably safe this year but next year maybe not. This dude could supplant Davis at the #2 within a few years Edited April 30, 2022 by Big Turk 3 Quote
Logic Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 My Lindy's Draft guide magazine is incredibly complementary of him. I'll transcribe his scouting report: Strengths: Highly versatile and lined up at flanker, inside at slot, and in the backfield. Impressive initial quickness at the line of scrimmage to gain freedom from press coverage, coordinating light feet with active, surprisingly strong hands to sway away dfeenders. Good agility and acceleration as a route runner, shaking defenders to consistently create separation. Keeps working as the play progresses. Quality receiver in the improvisational game, adjusting on the fly and coming back to the ball. Can catch with his body instead of hands but shows toughness after the catch. Willing to lower his shoulder and use leg drive to finish plays. Good vision and courage in traffic. Experience returning punts and kickoffs. Weaknesses: Well-distributed musculature but overall average size for the position. Quicker than he is fast, projecting better inside than outside. If used outside, average size and speed will be bottled by NFL competition. Played so many roles at Boise State that Shakir will enter the NFL a bit raw as a route runner. Many receptions on screens, dump offs and zone-drags. Too many double catches. More of a pest than a punisher as a blocker. Pro Comparison: Diontae Johnson, Steelers -- Cat-quick, courageous, and stronger than he looks, Shakir is precisely the type of versatile receiver and jet-sweep weapon NFL teams are chasing. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Shakir emerge as a quarterback's security blanket in much the same way the slightly smaller Johnson has for the Steelers. Rating: 7.2/10 -- Above Average Starter 1 9 Quote

Flipped to their coverage. Yeah, they love him. Dude looks fluid in his routes, and soft hands and tracks the ball well. If he's a good kick returner? Hell yeah baby!! Quote
MAJBobby Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Love the pick. This is the receiver I wanted since Feb. 6 3 Quote
78thealltimegreat Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) ESPN consensus is great pick. The NFL Network consensus we need more conversations about the future giants 4th place finish. Let’s goto commercial Edited April 30, 2022 by 78thealltimegreat 4 Quote
KingBoots8 Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 stealing my own joke from the draft thread but oh well…. I have been waiting since 2014 to say this: The bills moved up and drafted Khalil! Wow what a pick!!! 6 1 Quote
