Don't worry, "The Cooler" will take control of this unsettled situation and ease our minds with his smooth yet tough skill set.

Line up Kincaid at WR then. 

A 1st and 4th? It's only a 4th. Moving up 2 spots isn't losing a 1st

[Hebert19]

Just watched hos highlights.  He's josh allen as a tight end.   Big fast looks for contact jumps over dudes.  Fun.

He also said Mayer is a better TE, which he is. 

 

Mayer's a better blocker, for sure. I believe we drafted Kincaid to catch the ball. And Kincaid's a better reciever.

This.  Watch the highlights Mayer is not even in same league as a receiver.

800+ yards and 7+ TDs the last 2 years. I swear this place is unreadable with the rahrah riders.

A "Cooler" is a loser who spreads their bad luck onto lucky gamblers.   See the film "The Cooler".   It has a highly negative connotation.

Kincaid automatically becomes weapon #2 in this passing offensive. With a QB who lights it a lot, a 2 puts up huge numbers. That’s what should be happening. And then who knows,, year 2, 3 and after we can’t expect Diggs to be what he has been the past four years. That points to Kincaid being #1… or better, a future WR who can outplay Kincaid. All of this seems like a major shot in the arm for this Bills offense. Excited.

As the draft approached I started to look at this guy. What I like is he was a basketball player.  Some of the better pass catching TE were basketball players.  Tony Gonzales, Zach Ertz and Travis Kelce all were basketball players.  Even our last good tight end Pete Metzellaars was a standout basketball player. They are great in traffic, know how to shield with their body, have a firm grip on the ball in the paint and find open space in smaller holes.  

 

This guy will be very valuable if he displays any of these traits at the pro level.   It has been a long time since we had a guy who actually stretched the seams.  A lot of Kincaid's highlights show that downfield ability.  He has big hands that are vacuums. I can't wait to see him lined up and see what miss matches he can create.

Throwing Gates in this mix for you. He was a Bills killer.

Only in Bills universe could 809 yards 9 TDs be “not in the same league” as 890 yards 8 TDs.

You forgot probably the most famous basketball player of them and future HOFer, Antonio Gates who never even played football in college.

I still feel like this move doesn’t move the needle unless it’s paired with a Hopkins trade. 
A big bodied slot guy only makes sense if you have 2 very good WRs who are clogging up the field. Personnel wise, you can’t guard Kincaid with a LB, he will destroy you. 
That’s why Kincaid would be an A+ pick if Beane has more to this plan. 

I do not necessarily agree it doesn’t move the needle. Adding an arrow to Allen’s quiver moves the needle.

 

BUT I do think the idea of Diggs, Knox, and Kincaid being chess pieces who can own defenders on the inside or outside and at all levels, while Hopkins and Davis take care of the outside more exclusively.

He has more yards and touchdowns over past 4 years than any other tight end.   Had 2nd most receptions behind bowers who will be a top 10 pick next year...and played injured half the year.  He's a stud and will be a pro bowl tight end...if you don't like the pick that's fine but his talent can't be debated.

I like Kincaid as a big slot option. I’m not going to deny that. I just think this move makes more sense if it’s paired with a WR2.

This is just flat out false. Michael Mayer had more yards and TDs than Kincaid. You guys are crazy. 

[Ben]

I dont think its been pointed out yet that we now have 2 guys at TE who are 6'4" 250, how many nfl defenses have 1 guy with that size speed let alone 2? How do you defend this?

[TC in St. Louis]

We got a guy who gets open and catches the ball, and then gets yards after catch.  And he's big.  

I wasn't thrilled that the best receivers (except Q Johnson) were smurfs.  I bet Josh would enjoy seeing a big guy, wide open, who he trusts to catch the ball.

Yes. He’s so damn fluid and his body control and way he immediately catches and rolls his momentum into YAc. He has that kelce wiggle. Super pumped about him
