I think so, if they think he won’t make it to the practice squad without getting snatched up by another team. It sucks having too much talent (said nobody, ever).

 

 

 

 

would rather trade the much older Kumerow, who is really only a ST asset

and replace his special teams role with one of the bubble LBs

 

Bills need to keep and further develop Hodgins as a WR, since they refuse to spend top picks on WRs to catch the ball

Shakir is not going to the practice squad

nada, no way, no chance

  I would not think so but he is the least experienced on a team that has its eyes on a Super Bowl.  I don't think Hodgins if he made to our PS would last past Columbus Day before somebody took him.  Shakir, if he made it to our PS, would be gone during September.

  Don't under estimate having a WR for onside kick situations.

^^^^This is a good alternative.  Except the Bills like to have dual role depth. Kumerow is that. Hodgins plus a backup LB isn’t.

This is fun

There is a 0% chance Shakir clears waivers.  There'd be 25 teams lined up to claim him.

He's quite possibly the steal of the draft.

Bills are currently trying to fine a way to keep him. Also Blackshear. Expect to be surprised and upset by cuts and trades. . If this is their floor....just imagine the ceiling.

  OK, who goes?  Hodgins?  Crowder?  Depth player at TE, RB?

I have said since day 1, I don't think Crowder takes a spot over a thriving rookie. Also, a rookie beats out Hodgins based on play/injury. Isaiah is definitely a real good player but he also has been hurt since we picked him up. This falls under the best ability is availability. We will keep 2 TE's. As far as RB is concerned, this is the upset I am talking about. I can see (not predicting) Devin being traded. Moss at full strength is the better of the two IMHO. He is an UFA in 23. Will the Bills pay him top dollar to stay. Not a chance. If traded they keep 3. That lands Blackshear as #3. 

 

See my reply in RB thread.

I forgot Tavon Austin was still on this team.  I assume that's one of the easy cuts.

When your design is so good there are multiple wide open options.

Technically Diggs cost the BILLS the 22nd pick in the first round but Beane and company have done a great job of finding talent and then developing it into production.  Obviously, having the best QB in the NFL hasn't hurt.

 

 

[Alaska Darin]

Great execution and attention to detail, especially by GD13.

 

 

[Alaska Darin]

Not sure it has much meaning other than "Shakir can line up anywhere."

Doubt it was intentional, but McKenzie did a nice job not just making his block, but simultaneously disrupting the path of the dude pursuing Diggs.

He's right, it should be discussed and acknowledged.  Besides QB, this has been the biggest team upgrade the past five years.
