Who did you want when the Bills were on the clock in the 1st round in 2023?

I don't watch college ball so I don't really know anything about the players.  I can say that I wanted offense for a change.  I am happy with the pick if Dorsey and Josh use him as the weapon he is capable of being and it helps us win football games.

I was between Kincaid and Nolan Smith. I LOVE Smith as a player, but I did not see him as a fit for our Defense.  After the run on WR's, I realized that the best offensive weapon on the board was Kincaid.  

[Yantha]

I surprised myself when I started leaning to Kincaid after the WRs came off the board.  Kincaid was my pick as a Big/Physical WR prospect, once Johnston came off the board as well as Jack Campbell.

 

Kincaid was my pick.

I wanted the Bills to trade up to get JSN when he slid. After he went at 20 there were a lot of similarly rated players I was fine with. We got one of them.

I've been on O'Cyrus Torrence from the git.  I'm hoping we can grab him at 59, but I don't know if he lasts that long.

I thought we might trade up with the Lions and take Flowers but once that WR run happened and I saw the trade up over Dallas I knew we were getting Kincaid and I was ecstatic. Josh gets his security blanket who has Kelce potential. Watch any film on this kid and you’ll see one of the only 2 special pass catchers in this class (flowers is the other)…now let’s get an O lineman in round 2 to protect Josh and trade our 6th round pick for Hopkins 🥳

Truth be told I wanted Anton Harrison
 

But that’s because I can’t remember the last time we actually took a tight end in the first round. I’m not sure that we’ve ever done that.

 

For those of us that have been around for a while that was always the perennial question before they drafted Dawson Knox were we ever going to consider tight end a priority? We never seem to draft them.

 

After we selected them, I was totally thrilled with the pick and I still think that Anton Harrison is gonna end up being a good player

We drafted a TE in the first round the same year we drafted Jimbo.........Actually a few picks before Kelly I believe.

Yep. Exactly 40 years ago!

I wanted Torrence. I don't actually know that much about him, but conceptually I think Josh needs interior protection more than he needs another TE to throw to. If Torrence really was the best G in the draft, then I think it would have been nice to have taken him.

 

After the runs on Tackles and WRs, I was looking to see who the best guard available was.  

 

But, after some research, I'm happy with Kincaid.  Though I'm still hoping for some OL help.  

[Prospector]

With who was on the board, I would have been happy with Nolan Smith, Dalton Kincaid, O'Cyrus Torrence, and Jaylin Hyatt... the latter 3 I think are the top of their positions.

[DasNootz]

I wanted them to trade up to Seattle - I did not think the Seahawks were taking WR.  I thought the Bills would trade up to ensure they got the best WR on their draft board, and figured the run would start with Baltimore, SD and the Giants coming up.

My guess is that they were content with selecting 3 of the 4 WRS or Kincaid and rolled the dice one or two would be there at 27.  When the WRs were gone it left only Kincaid and Dallas in front.

Haha you never know what can happen

[Freddie's Dead]

Why is Chad Pennington picking for the Bears?

[gobills404]

Kincaid at 55% and nobody else above 11%. Some of y’all are definitely lying lol.

Agreed. But I think it still shows that Kincaid is at least someone who was on their shortlist and people approve this pick.
