Question:

 

If he could improve his blocking, what would his potential be and how would we use him?

 

TIA.

He apparently Isn’t good at it at all.

 

So we have a TE2 who is a mediocre blocker and we can’t even get the ball to our TE1

Kincaid will be a much better pass catcher than Knox.

Paying one TE $13M and spending a 1st and a 4th on another? I don't get it. WRs and OT are much bigger needs. Harrison was there. 

 

At least we didn't go defense.

 

You realize that TEs can catch the ball right? Kincaid is better than most of the WRs in this draft and we now have immediate mismatches when putting him and Knox out together. I've been hoping for more 12 personnel packages!

Can’t block a lick 

How many of the top tight ends are great blockers?

 

they are matchup night mares. If they get matchup with a d back, they can over power then in the run game. If they have a LB or S, they are a nightmare in the passing game. 
 

dude isn’t Lee Smith and that’s an awesome thing.

I like the player. I don't like the player for Buffalo due to what we saw from Dorsey last year. Less than confident he will be used to his full potential.  Spending what we are already for Knox and now a 1st round pick is a major investment in a position we haven't seen as a priority position in the offense. Like I said, like the player...just unsure about the usage here.

 

Very willing to wait and see what changes are made to the offense to accommodate such a talented player before I can know if I like the pick. Hopefully, Dorsey has a solid plan in place.

How can you not be pumped about the prospect of Allen and Kincaid lighting up the AFC for the next decade. 

 

My impression is he's more WR than TE. We need to address OL. Hopefully, we can get someone good one day 2 because we need Josh to be upright to complete passes.

Because Josh likes throwing to WRs and we don’t even use our 14 million dollar tight end enough

Line up Kincaid at WR then. 

He pretty much will be

Im ready for Dorsey's Double D offense.

[sven233]

The dude is a weapon.  While his blocking leaves the something to be desired, but he could be "Kelce light" with his route running.  Might be the best overall pass catcher in the draft regardless of position.  If he can translate his game to the NFL quickly, he will make plays for us and fill in the missing slot position we don't have. 

 

Blocking can be taught if he's willing to learn.  May not be a WR by trade, but he is a weapon on offense and I'm all for that.

[Mojo44]

This is a great value pick! This opens up the offense in a big way! Stop whining about whether he can block or not. Misses the point entirely. I’m very pleased with this pick.

[MAJBobby]

Bills have their Kelce. That is the reality with this pick. 
 

plays inline

slot

outside

nice routes

best hands in draft 

 

matchup nightmare. 
 

WRs didn’t slip they are were there should have been very weak WR class. I had him

graded at 13 overall. 

[HappyDays]

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

[billieve420]

We got another offensive playmaker so I can’t be mad happy with pick.

[TheBeaneBandit]

The Bills absolutely stole the Cowboys guy. Hey broke back....HA HA!!!!!

[Big Blitz]

I wonder if he was the target all along.

Initial reaction is...does Dorsey know how to use him?

 

The only thing I didn't like was that Beane panicked and gave away a 4th.

They had to jump Cowboys to get him.  They lost their TE to FA.

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.

 

Yep.  You can see that they liked Kincaid over Mayer, and when the Bills took him they looked a bit stunned and took a while to figure out who they were pivoting to.
