Was the trade up necessary? 🤔

[CircleTheWagons99]

If he starts/plays day one then yes, if he is babied in like McD likes to do with rookies, then No.

Ok so Im like many of us Bills Mafians. I HATE the thought that we traded up unnecessarily for a pick Beane decided to make in earlier drafts. Welp here we are again, another draft, another trade up in the first. Some of Beane's previous trade ups were understandable while many others were highly questionable. FOR THIS SPECIFIC TRADE UP, do you feel Beane was completely justified? Even if you believe the Cowboys would have indeed selected Kincaid and for us to get him, trading up was necessary. If you dont feel the pick was worth the sacrifice, STILL VOTE NO. So my polling question here is, DO YOU FEEL THE TRADE UP IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE 2023 DRAFT WAS WORTH IT? Put your current opinion on the matter on the record RIGHT NOW!

Obviously, you’re NOT like many ‘Bills Mafians’ at all. But Hey! You do you.

Beane has established he has a type: tight ends with the initials DK

If they wanted Kincaid then yeah it was. Dallas was going to take him and was completely dumbfounded when we got ahead of them

 

Dan Patrick was hysterical this morning talking about the Dallas draft room. They seemed shocked and had a “what NOW?’ look about them. When they made the pick they all forced a polite clap, while holding back tears. 😂

I feel like if you got all the therapists in the world that it would not be enough to have one person on this forum be emotionally stable for a week.

Worth it just for the look on the faces of jerry jones and crew😂

 
I did not read through this thread yet but, did the actual photo of the war room in Dallas’s get posted? 
 

Also, isn’t the thread title and the poll question two different questions?

 

I’ll answer both, yes and yes

Sorry if I didn’t get my point across correctly.  
 

i meant to say that he has great route running and movement ability.  Those 2 attributes + his elite ball skills are what sets him apart and a top 15 player in this draft imo. 

 

Daniel Jeremiah and Chris Simms agree with you, so you’re not in terrible company there.

The poll is currently 166 to 14, so he’s not completely alone.   😋

Well he never is...  Himself and his other 13 personalities gets crowded at times.

One of them is Sybil, am I right?

It's one of my favorite things about Beane.  When he really likes a guy, he doesn't leave any doubt.

 

[LABILLBACKER]

In a heartbeat.  This was a 1st round graded #1TE of this draft.  Dallas wanted him bad. With our luck we would've just drafted an underperforming DT in the 4th.

[The Wiz]

This tells me all I need to know. 

 

 

"The Cowboys liked Michael Mayer. He's still there too." Interesting that they didn't take him with the next pick though, isn't it?

Yeah it was hilarious lol

[boater]

Heh. Judging by the poll numbers, OP's opinion is very unpopular.

Beane said it himself if Kinkaid was picked he would have traded back, he was clearly sticking out for them so he did what he felt was the right move. I love the bold move to get Allen another weapon and felt it was a solid move, I hate comparisons but if we just landed Travis Kelce at 25 do we really care about the 4th given away? I sure wont.

The Trade up and Pick got them COMPLETELY FLUSTERED
