Beane's already burning up the phone lines to trade up next year.

I'd be pissed if we gave up next year's 6th to move back 25 picks.

Don't love the pick. Don't hate it. Would have preferred Xavier Hutchinson, AT Perry, Isovias or Trey Palmer.

There's very few MLB's in the NFL that play in the 240's. The majority are in the 230's. And there's several in the 220's. Dorian Williams size is more the norm in today's NFL than the old school Ray Lewis prototype. He's length is also disproportionate. His hand size, arm size and wing span are that of a 6'5" -6'6" player.

Still have a number for choices of guys who can make the team better.

He's has a nice mix of size and athletism to play outside.

New England just traded up. Won't be shocked if he's their pick... Edit: Haha, got that backwards. Raiders trade for NE's pick.

I like him, like Xavier Hutchinson who can play outside and inside. Trey Palmer is a legitimate deep threat too, not sure Harty is to be totally counted on.

Have a shot at getting a pretty good player at 137. Don't overthink this Beane!

This is not going to take a crazy new playbook. Kincaid is a big slot. He's going to lineup as a wr. Right out of Beane's mouth, a 12 with Knox and Kincaid is really an 11 formation. Because Kincaid is a receiver.

Williams measurables beyond height and weight. He's not really a Smurf, and has the kind of frame that can easily add weight. Big hands, long arms, huge wing span, one of the fastest LB's in the league. HANDS: 10 1/4 (79%) ARM: 33 3/4 (78%) SPAN: 80 6/8 (93%) FORTY: 4.49 (C) (95%)

Darius Leonard plays at 220. Devin White, Roquan Smith, Nick Bolton all play under in the 230's. He has to put on 5-7 lbs to play Mike in 2023.

Just think what could have been, Right Josh Rosen to Right TE Mayer!

5 Verts, every play

What about catch percentage and drop percentage? How's that compare?

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

Yeah, but Prisco's objection to the pick was not understanding why the Bills need another TE. He qualified it by saying, maybe it makes more sense if they play more 2 TE formations. Maybe he didn't hear Beane say that Kincaid is a Big Slot Z receiver and not the same Y position in the Bills scheme as Knox?

Sure, if you look at form over function. Beasley functioned as the Bills best over the middle, zone beating, stick moving, pressure release valve. All while having the highest catch % on the team. This seems to be the same role the Bills are hoping Kincaid fills. Side note, the year we lost to KC in the AFC championship game. I can't help but wonder how much different that game would have been had Beasley not fractured his damn leg going after 1,000 yards against the Pats in a game that was all sewed up.

You called this!

@GunnerBill I agree with your analysis of the Kincaid pick through and through. Definitely see him as a Big Slot receiver. The only place I slightly disagree is that slot isn't really a first round value pick. Sometimes it is. To me it's a question of production. Can your big slot put up #1 reciever numbers? With guys like Cooper Kupp, Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, the value is there. I said in several threads on the subject that the value is there for the Bills to take Kincaid at 27 if they think he's had the potential to be a 100 catch, 1,000 receiver. I think he was the best receiver left in the draft, the only one with a 1st round grade, and his size and mismatch factor put him ahead of Downs.

Or those hands.

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

And excels against zone.

Our Ertz, finally!

I like Jones best to fill the LT role, but alas.
