Maine-iac Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Let's face it given the problems we had last year if this guy was a great punt returner he could make the team but he shows all the signs of being a great receiver also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 The Bills were pretty lucky to get a WR of this caliber at #148...I'm not sure why he fell other than the inability for teams to pinpoint how they will use him. But I also think that's what makes him a real cool prospect. Â Throughout the process this year I looked at SO many WR's. Like too many...I felt this was the Bills second greatest need...And I don't know if it's just the #2 or what, but Shakir reminds me of Robert Woods. The first play I saw I thought of Woods. Shakir is a little shorter (about a half an inch), but faster than Woods, and he just reminds me of that kind of tool...He's a competitor, and he is fast...He and Cook are going to bring some nice needed speed...This Offense is going to be insane. Â Though I don't think he's the exact fit to replace Smoke/Sanders as an outside guy, I do think he can play a bit out there...Eventually though he'll be a very cool slot weapon... Â Real good pick...Process guy...Very good... 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Â So it turns out losing the 4th round pick didn't make a difference. You can look at is we traded up for Kaiir Elam for a 6th round pick. 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 4 hours ago, HappyDays said: I bet if we had drafted Shakir in the 3rd round and Bernard in the 5th round the consensus opinion on this board would be more positive.  Probably. Per ESPN Pre-Draft Scoring :  Bernard: Grade - 62 / OVR Rank - 145 Shakir:  Grade - 71 / OVR Rank - 102  So yeah, before the draft Shakir was definitely considered an overall better talent & graded as 3rd round type of prospect. Bernard was viewed as a later round pick. Fans would've likely been ok not knowing who a 5th round player even was 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 3 hours ago, Logic said: The Bills offense appears to be leaning into the "position-less offensive players" movement. I think that's McDermott's model. I think that's who Bernard is, too. Forget what you call the player's position.  Just get really good football players and put them on the field.   Speed, height, and versatility.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I think he's more like Diggs than McKenzie. Definitely not limited to the slot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Beane said he sees him as competing at the 3-4 WR position and said those guys have to play inside and outside and that he isn’t limited to the slot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelius Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I've looked and I can't find anything negative about this pick anywhere. I'm not trying to be a downer, I'm just curious why he fell to the 5th, especially in a draft with an early run on WR. I love the pick as does seemingly everybody else in the universe. Some mocked him going late 2nd, so what's the catch if any? Did we just completely luck out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills404 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Someone probably posted this already but just in case. Absolute filth.
