Dying at all the posters who read Michael Mayer is Gronk 2.0 and fell in love simply off of that and parrot the comparison to say we chose the wrong TE.

 

Dalton Kincaid was the top TE in the class.

Agreed.  Kincaid is completely different player than Mayer. Twice as quick.

Love the pick.  They’ve wanted a 2 TE look for a while.  Put him and Knox out there with Diggs and Davis and look out.

People b-wording... we took the best TE in a stacked TE draft. Best offensive player left after that WR run, wasn't defense andddddd Dhop is even still available.

 

If we don't know how to use him, we have bigger problems than personnel

Kincaid is more Kelce. Smooth route runner. I don’t think many thought he’d be there.

 

Im not angry because they drafted a route running technician. That’s all I wanted.

Ummm yes?… it’s not baseball with no salary cap so yes It would hurt the roster building… you can keep pushing The cap down the road by extensions/restructures, but got to pay the piper eventually.

 

So just ignore  the fact that Josh likes throwing to WRs and we traded up for TE when we underuse our starting TE?

 

We traded up for a TE so, 32.5 catches for Kincaid this year. Over/under?

They were trying to roll with two titan sets last off-season and didn’t have the groceries. The one that they brought in was not good enough, but they were still messing with it.
 

What you did was a position in the draft that is supposed to be strong in this draft

 

Nobody had Dalton Kincaid going that late

F the cowboys. 

I think the Bills ruined the Cowboys night and jumped their pick. That makes me VERY Happy.

 

Plus I love thinking of how Dorsey will gameplan mismatches using both he and Dawson Knox.

I like the pick.  Knox simply has not been a reliable pass catcher and Kincaid seems much better at that.

 

I was never a fan of the Knox contract, and this feels like Beane would want it back if he had the chance as well.

knox is paid like a modest pass catcher - it’s not a game breaking deal.

We need that and the great hands.

 

We were definitely missing that safety blanket receiver to move the sticks last year. Plus he adds size as a red zone target.

I don't understand how anyone could hate this pick. We just got an elite pass catcher to pair with Diggs. Go get Hopkins and dare teams to keep up with us.

 

Wow.

Eventually.  I think this lit a fire under the whole offense.  Knox and Davis are pulling all nighters at the gym.

Are they fixing their drops in the gym?  Or Davis learning routes yet? 

[Fan in Chicago]

Barring any player for pick happening over night,  we have effectively two more picks to get starters in this draft. If we grab a OL and LB un rd 2 and 3, I would call this a successful draft. 

Depending on the Bills' grades of the remaining players,  I wouldn't be surprised if a player is traded before draft time tomorrow

[Bills Bud]

Not big on it. He pretty much the same player as Knox. This pick could end Beane / McDermott 

[CorkScrewHill]

CBS ranked his as 31st best player,ESPN had him at #14, and PFF had him as #10 overall.  I like the pick but we shall see

Man I am over the moon right now. Quentin Johnston and Dalton Kincaid were my draft crushes.

I see Saints Jimmy Graham 😁

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

This franchise has never had a top tier TE in their entire history. Been wanting it for years. Hoping this is the guy that finally becomes that for us. Knox…it is what it is. Just hasn’t been close to good enough. Turning him into a #2 TE probably makes us considerably better

People saying the Bills panicked… take a look at the Cowboys.  They were going Kincaid the WHOLE way.  Bills jumped em and killed their pick.

Look at McCarthys face trying to explain to Jerra what happened. They were pissed.

Except it doesn’t. Those that cannot evaluate the game or players turn to cap talk.  Do you. 

You haven’t made one intelligent rebuttal. 

 

I know the game. I know how the cap works and I even explained how it works.

 

If you like the pick? cool. We will Agree to disagree.

But Maybe you should learn our elite QB and what personnel he prefers and the position group he targets the most?🤷‍♂️

Kincaid could very likely be our 2nd leading pass catcher next year

Plus, with more OL help,  Knox will be more available as a pass catcher
