Khalil Shakir might be my offensive version of Taron Johnson

A speedy outside guy with some home run threat would open the underneath stuff up even more for Shakir. 

 

If Brandon remembers wide receivers exist before day 3 that is.....

Exaclty. 

Shakir is a decent option at slot. If they had a true speed guy at #2 the top 3 WR could be great. 

My issue with Shakir is he doesn't seem super quick like the elite slot guys like Edelman. But so what he can be an effective #3. 

But just to be clear #3 WR in this offense might still be 4th or 5th in targets when you add the RB and TE. I don't see him getting 80 catches out of the slot like Welker or Edelman did.

If Davis is going to miss multiple games this postseason and/or be hobbled (should we continue to advance), I’d love to see Sherfield outside with Harty rotating in for him and Diggs.  See if we can get Harty deep 1-2 times per game, and if not, use him to open up underneath routes for Kincaid and Shakir. 
 

I too wanted Addison, but I am interested to see if perhaps we got the right guy all along when it comes to needing to win in January.

 

Having a big body with a huge catch radius when throwing in the elements, who will only grow as a blocker as he develops, is something we desperately needed last year .. and now have this year. 
 

He also played at Utah, so he’s not facing the cold for the first time.

I'm sure I'm in the minority on this board, but I hope Gabe is back for a deep playoff run. He makes big plays in big games. He makes difficult catches even as he drops easy ones.

So when I said he’s the key to a playoff run, I wasn’t a complete idiot. I’m beaming.

 

Two Shakirs is better than one Shakir and one Davis. It’d be great to draft a hall of famer like JULES!, but maybe a really competent guy gets it done as well.

 

Here’s the tough part.. though still The Man, Diggs is isn’t climbing the latter anymore : he’s on his way down the slide. This makes it even more of a must-have situation for the Bills. WR needs to be addressed, and it’s not just because Gabe Davis isn’t the guy. The whole thing is a card of cards! 🤤

Bills need to have a good game plan to isolate DB on KC Kings who Gabe can out muscle.

Eric Moulds is very proud of his student!

This is one of the few comparisons that I completely agree with. Both guys were very pleasant surprises - outplaying expectations and playing as “dawgs” as the kids say.

Great play to get in. Curious though on who jumped on Diggs back from Steelers at end of play and is that even legal.  Seemed like a BS move to do.
