Your opinion of Khalil Shakir is your opinion of the 24 Buffalo Bills offense. Will Shakir develop into a starting wr and a feature of the passing attack or be a nice role player? If you think he can be a feature of the offense then your overall expectations for 24 are still high. If he is just a nice slot guy your hoping for a massive trade. You feel the offense is subpar and a major concern moving forward.
Shakir had a year of a nice third guy. 39 catches 611 yards. He was not used the first 6 weeks. Only received 5 targets and 4 catches. You take his usage from week 7 to 18 over a full season thats 52 catches for 882. Doesnt knock your socks off but you can see why he would be looked at a bit differently.
There are alot of targets available 160 from Diggs and 81 from Davis. They were also highly inefficient players. Diggs catch % last year was 66 and Davis was 55. Shakir was at 85. In general Shakir made the most of his opportunities. I do not see him getting Diggs work load. I dont see any weapon getting that.
I think Shakir will be used a tick more than he was down the stretch. I think he has a chance at being a 1,000 yard receiver and I dont think it is that much of an ask. If you see Shakir as a possible 80 catch 1,000 yard guy your not hanging your hopes on a big time trade. Worked with Cook. Worked with Benard. I think it works with Shakir.
882 are solid WR2 numbers. 900 yards is a starter. I think he's gonna go for 1100 and 85 catches. Borderline 1.

One interesting thing I read today is that, because of the way compensatory picks are calculated, the Bills may want to limit the snaps of Mike Edwards and Mack Hollins this year, because if they exceed a certain amount, it jeopardizes the two picks the Bills are scheduled to receive.
Similarly, to ensure the best chance at receiving the picks they think they'll be getting, the Bills have to hope that Tim Settle plays a lot of snaps for Houston -- but Houston is surely aware of this, too, and may limit Settle's snaps for their own compensatory pick reasons.
Just a fascinating aspect of the minutiae that goes into calculating compensatory picks. I have no idea whether or not the Bills care enough to actually limit Edwards and Hollin's snaps. To be honest, I bet they do.Not for a 5th or a 6th round pick...

He isn't going to be in a rush. We might see lots of little moves, have already. After cuts we might see beane grab some vet depth.

That's an insane amount of $$$ to turn down. But, if I had $$$ like an NFL owner, I would probably not be worried about it either if I just loved being around and a part of the game.
Unless something was really going wrong in my life. No way I would sell an NFL franchise. What better way to make a living?

Nice little video about Bills Mafia donating to help children in Keon's hometown. This kid is already becoming local legend.

This guy seems to be a huge "boom or bust" sort of prospect.
Everyone sees huge talent in him, but many seem to think it will never show itself on an NFL field and passed him by.
Obviously, the Bills were willing to gamble, like they did with Josh, based on the presence of raw talent.I would LOVE for this kid to emerge as a bonafide superstar, starting THIS YEAR.
Play him McDimwit! Give him snaps and give him balls to catch!
Let this kid take the NFL by storm...if he can!
Geez, he's barely out of his teens. I thought he comported himself very well. Shame on him for having some personality when discussing how to shop smart. God forbid our new WR was raised to be frugal and cannot help but be an excited, funny kid.

There were plenty of takers. Have you not seen the trades?
Mostly late round swaps for the 5s. I didn't see many 5s pushing people way up the board in the first two rounds.

Dang man, I'm watching Ray's highlights. His hips are so sudden, then fluid. He plays fast, is hard to tackle and has great hands! I think he us going to be great in our offense. We have a fast stepping little tank of a RB!!

So we have all these picks that were supposedly ammo to move up and what do we do? Trade them for even more late picks. This makes zero sense in a draft with a lot of top 100 prospects but huge drop off late. At least 10 draft able wr or more and we end up with only Coleman. Sorry but this draft sucks. No way around it. We could look back in 3 years and not have a single starter.
Need a taker bud.

Love the Georgia Center! Very responsible draft pick. Not exciting but a year or two to get ready. If you are a near-elite 3 year starting center at Georgia, not too bad!!

Nice pick! Bruiser with soft hands. He caught 7 td passes last year.

I think Kevon looks fast on tape and creates nice separation. Also, his body is fluid and smooth, especially for such a big guy. Also has great hands. Sick athlete. Pretty great pick!

Wondering what your dream job with the Bills would be?
Getting to be in the draft room building the best team possible?
Using your knowledge of X’s and O’s to coach?
Or getting to be on the field as a player?
Depends....do I have the same dimensions and age of said player? If so, sign me up!!

Kind of crazy how some of us old coots ( poster name play intended 😀) on this board remember a player & name vividly like this guy from 45+ years ago like it was only a few years ago.
Angel Gabriel now 😔
Yeah! I remember him back when I was a little kid. 83. Crazy. RIP.

I’ve often thought this was gravely misunderstood. You’re not supposed to take/use the Lord’s name in vain. It doesn’t say that you cannot say his name. So you are not supposed to use the Lord to swear/promise/threaten anyone, as if you have some authority over what God does or doesn’t do. Nor are you to tempt the Lord to do anything. It’s perfectly fine however to say his name in worship and adoration.
Would being named "God" possibley be considered a little vain or no?

For those who don't want to pay the totally-worth-it $1.99 per month to subscribe to the Athletic (can you even get a pack of gum for that any more?), here's Joe Buscaglia's latest 7 round Bills mock draft. I gotta say, if this happened, I might cry tears of joy.
https://theathletic.com/5391796/2024/04/05/buffalo-bills-mock-draft-stefon-diggs-trade/
TRADE!
Tennessee Titans trade Nos. 7, 182 to Bills for Nos. 28, 60, 133 and 2025 1st
The pick at No. 7: Bills – Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
I continue to believe that anything, including a move like this one on draft day, is a real possibility for the Bills. Beane has long been an aggressive draft-day trader when he’s excited about a prospect and how he’d fit their system. Now, with a gaping hole for a top target at wide receiver and where the Bills are in their build, this is the type of move Beane could rationalize as one that puts them over the top for the foreseeable future.
The cost of doing business might be high for some, which is understandable. I’m sure it will evoke memories of the Bills’ move up the board to take Sammy Watkins in 2014. But this is an entirely different situation from 2014 — almost comically so. Back then, it was the desperate move of a franchise hoping Watkins would help EJ Manuel become the franchise quarterback while blatantly ignoring several warning signs he was not that player. Now, there’s nothing for their quarterback to prove. The Bills have one of the best quarterbacks in the league in Josh Allen, a still-talented roster around him, and a pretty good idea that they’ll be pushing for the playoffs at the very least in 2024.
By arming him with a young receiver with elite potential on a rookie deal for the next four years, it gives the Bills a lot of flexibility for how they spend through the duration of the receiver’s rookie deal. I’d liken this move more to the one the Atlanta Falcons made in 2011 to fly up the board and select Julio Jones, already with a top quarterback in Matt Ryan in place. They certainly didn’t regret that trade for a second.The recent trade of Diggs, and acquiring the Vikings’ 2025 2nd from the Texans, could empower Beane to make a stark move up the board like this one, too. With an extremely unsettled quarterback room — either starting journeyman backup Sam Darnold or a rookie — that pick has a good chance of turning into an early second-round selection. If that does happen, the Bills could easily get themselves back at the end of the first round next year, or just view their early second-round pick as their first-round pick replacement for dealing it away to get a potential game-changing receiver. For the right player, Beane will move a first-round pick.
Is Nabers worth this type of move? In a more standard draft year, Nabers would easily be the best receiver prospect by a wide margin and likely one of the first players selected. He is outrageously talented and smooth, with the explosiveness to win however the Bills ask him to. The separation is effortless whether he’s at X, Z or slot and he gets the defender to bite at his breakdown constantly. He can win with physicality or speed and will eat cushion from off-defenders alive. Nabers has excellent, crisp footwork, and his contested catch concentration is simply outstanding. On top of it all, he can be a monster with yards after the catch, either using physicality to drag defenders or his 4.35 speed to blow up a play.
Nabers has all the potential to be a star in the NFL, and with one of the league’s best quarterbacks in Allen, it increases that likelihood by a large margin. Nabers is worth the hype. But would he make everyone forget about the price tag? It certainly looks like he has all the potential to do so. And with the Bills looking like they’ll have cap space to work with in 2025, it could be the catalyst to another push toward the top of the AFC.
Rest of draft:
I like this kid alot. He can rip and make stuff happen with the ball in his hands.

Nice depth signing. You would like knowing he is there as a back up if needed.
Tua holding out?

That Goff contract was way higher than most thought he was gonna get and it screwed the phins big time. Goff was supposed to be on Cousins-tier, instead, he set the new top tier. Bravo Detroit. Lol.
