When he is wide the Bills run it. I did have the breakdown late in the season (around week 14 or 15 or so). Can't put my hands on it right now - and I don't know that I saw an updated number at the end of the year - but it was like 80% of the time Shakir splits wide the Bills run it and his actual receptions from wide splits were like 10 or 11 I think. 

 

Would love to see the breakdown of him lining up at x vs z, as well as pass vs run from both sets.

I wasn’t saying they should just trade back 

 

but if your at spot 25 and you everyone else is graded in the 40s for you trading back to 35 you still can grab the 1-3 players you are targeting

 

i dont want them picking just to pick if they have lower values for them. Now if they value a guy at 25 or around that then don’t trade back.

 

i think every scenario is different and we obviously don’t know there boards 

I'm not disagreeing, I would rather them use late picks and / or a future pick to get into a rd. where we have none like this year with no 3rd.

 

In the last 7 drafts, excluding the Diggs trade, Beane has stood pat just twice.  Oliver and Groot.  Traded up  4 times and down once. Obviously the Allen trade was an

answered prayer, the other 3 ended up being Tremaine,  Elam and Kincaid.  Down once which was last year for Keon and Carter. That's 5 moves out of 6 times in the first. ( no pick 2020)

 

Every single pick has been driven by need at that position. To me this is outsmarting ones self. Make a board with a couple of options at each spot and stick to it.

I believe he’ll effectively counter what I anticipate being new defenses we’ll see this year as opponents will focus on film study of last years thrilling offense. He is hands down our best receiver since we dumped Diggs & Davis.

 

Billy Barty could easily step over that bar....

General question.. Does Some of us like me not like this signing because I feel.. for the position.. we needed more field stretch (fast 40 time) then this type of player?

I think a lot of it is the speed element missing + he is not a "name" player like Metcalf.   

 

Overall the Bills evaluation of the WR position is.....less than ideal

I saw an interesting clip with Greg Cosell (which is probably in this thread) where he said he really liked him coming out of college and he likes his game…..he just can’t explain the lack of greater production. It made me curious if it was the player, the scheme or something else.  🤷‍♂️
