#1 Preseason Player According to Cover 1

[Motorin']

None other than Khalil Shakir. In this breakdown we see excellent traits to play both in the slot and outside. Very good video:

Kind of feels like how they were describing him in camp, smooth, like he belongs, he just seems like a natural fit.

[BillsfaninChicago]

Michael Jasper was snubbed!

[Saxum]

Do what were the gotchas that made him drop as far as he did?

 

[ Yes some believe we should sign WRs in first round but other than 5th year contract I disagree with that strategy.  Agents will push for the players successful to hold out and those who aren't as sucessful get paid too much. ]

[Mark Long Beach]

That's what it looked like in real time to me.  His route running is smooth and his body positioning excellent.    He regularly was getting college wide open, not NFL wide open.   It seemed that every throw to him, he had a well of space around him.  All through great route running, not super speed.    Now, that's against the backups, I'm curious how well he can hold up against the starters, but color me impressed.

Size. Release against press outside and a perception (which I am not sure was justified) that he was a gimmick guy only. 

[CSBill]

I love this guy. What a steal.

[RobbRiddick]

A lot of guys shine in preseason and then do nothing much when it matters but I'd be genuinely surprised if this guy doesn't end up making plays. He just looks like he belongs at this level, and when you hear him talk he has his head screwed on and sounds like a vet already

[John from Riverside]

The first time I saw Shakur was when he ran at the combine I remember him running at the combine and thinking what a beast he was he ran and looked at this time and kind of had a look on his face like he wasn’t really satisfied with it then I watched him go through the drills and he just caught everything effortlessly yes tree trunks for legs which reminded me of Deebo Samuel 

 

how he lasted in the draft when he did his a mystery to me and while he’s going to start out not in the starting lineup by the end of the year he will be we have been extremely lucky on wide receivers that we’ve drafted here lately with Gabe Davis and now shikur And are setting ourselves up to have a quality wide receiver stable for years to come

[JerseyBills]

He looks like a veteran out there

So your issue is that good players will want to get paid? I’d rather have good players than worry about whether or not they will have to be paid years later. In my company all of the top performers want to get paid. That’s what we do to retain top talent.

He reminds me of Robert Woods and not just because he wears #10.

Don't forget Wang.  Never leave home without you’re Wang.  😇

 

All kidding aside, Shakir had a nice camp, and so did Cook.  This team looks better than last years team, and no we won’t miss anyone who went onto other teams.

It’s too bad he won’t post his own stuff here

I’m sure you already know this, but this place is tough on actual media types who dare to come in and post.  I mean, some folks here are relentless, and not very respectful.  Now, I agree that some of the posters who have left are probably a little too thin-skinned, but I can understand them saying “I don’t need this s-h-i-t” also.

Yea Erik blocked me for disagreeing with him on Tyrod's fit in a Rick Dennison offense. Time proved me right as well, but it wasn't even about that... I was having a genuine constructive conversation but I was disagreeing with him (you and I have had plenty of those eball) and he just blocked me for disagreeing. 

 

I agree though that some of the media folks who have posted here have not been particularly well treated. I think Wawrow for example has been subject to some pretty snarky behaviour.

I totally agree 

 

some armchair GMs get pretty nasty when you “correct” or disagree with them 

 

 

many Credited members of the media have been left or chased off. 

1 example john wawrow

I’d like to think Erik has matured a bit since then…he doesn’t strike me as the sort to have that type of reaction but I think that was back when he first started doing his stuff.

He's 6' 190#, which is Diggs' size.  Which could be an interesting parallel.
