NFL Network’s Mike Giardi had a positive way to describe the Buffalo Bills’ 2022 NFL draft class: “The rich got richer.”

But the worthwhile note was found later during in his analysis of the Bills and their rookie playmakers.

Among the eight players selected by Buffalo at the recent draft was Khalil Shakir. The Boise State wide receiver was taken in the fifth round after the team traded up 20 spots for him.

During a segment on NFL Network, Giardi revealed that “many” folks around the league turned their heads when seeing Shakir land in Buffalo.

The term used to described the feelings of some NFL executives was “stunned.”
