I also heard a couple weeks ago that Addison was their primary target in the 1st round. Another credible poster on here said the same thing. So yeah that is definitely true. On Kincaid, I don't think the Bills ever really thought he would be there. They didn't have him in for a top 30 visit which is I believe the first time in the McDermott/Beane era for our 1st round pick. Good on Beane for sticking to his board and making sure to come away with a true 1st round talent even if he wasn't someone we specifically targeted.

Another small front 7 player... Why is that Beane's obsession?

This pick seriously makes me wonder if Bernard's roster spot is in danger. Like they're just giving up on him now. He was inactive the last game of the season after all...

Nevermind, Beane said we drafted him to be an OLB and special teamer. I hate it.

This was not a BPA pick, this was a need pick. But honestly I think I'm okay with it. It's a weak draft and we have to ensure Terrel Bernard isn't our starting MLB.

The worst part is he thought everyone was booing him in good fun, like a wrestling heel... Nope, they just legitimately want you to shut up dude.

Didn't think I could hate a McCourty twin worse.

What the hell is going on with Trenton Simpson? A LB I've never heard of goes before him.

Oh well I wasn't going to get all of my dream picks but man coming away with Kincaid and Hyatt would have been my fantasy.

I think they're having by far the worst draft. Every player they've picked has been a big reach IMO.

I won't lie I really wanted Hyatt there. I have no clue why is sliding so far. But Torrence was projected to go a lot higher so at least we didn't make a stupid reach pick.

Hahaha the Cowboys REACHED for a TE. We absolutely screwed up their draft.

Wait KC is next? Did they trade up?? Crap I think they jumped us for Hyatt 🤢

For my money Chicago is having an awful draft. Two big reaches IMO.

Yes he was a top 30 visit.

Meh Sanders doesn't do it for me. I really want Hyatt at this point. If he gets taken I'm cool with Torrence as a consolation prize.

Weird pick for Seattle. They just drafted Kenneth Walker high in the 2nd last year.

But then how will Beane jump the Cowboys for the last 1st round grade on his board next year 🤔

At this point I'd be calling teams to try and get up there for Hyatt, even if we have to trade a 2024 pick. Kincaid and Hyatt would be my dream draft.

Just an awesome story.

Yep so Kincaid must have really been sticking out on Beane's board. The combined value we gave up of that possible 3rd and our own 4th is equivalent to the last pick of the 2nd round.

Wasn't sure where to put this, I figured this thread was as good as any: So if not for Kincaid slipping, looks like we would have traded down to #41. By the draft value chart that's a 230 point difference, and the Titans 3rd round pick (#72) happens to be worth exactly 230 points. Sounds like Beane passed up on an extra 3rd to take Kincaid so that shows you how much he liked him.

I heard from a credible source that they really liked Addison. I wouldn't be surprised if QJ was someone they had a 1st round grade on because he fits their usual profile. Flowers is limited by his arm length and JSN has a medical flag so I'd be surprised if either of them were 1st round targets. My guess is they looked at their board after QJ was picked by the Chargers and were content with either Addison or Kincaid. Once Addison got picked that's when they probably started calling up to make sure they got Kincaid before they reached a talent cliff on their board.

Kyle Trimble of Banged Up Bills has no concerns: And this was reported a couple weeks ago: The Bills have never taken medical risks in the 1st round under Beane. I'm sure they did their due diligence.
