Bleeding Bills Blue Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Just now, Orlando Tim said: The 5 receiver set of Diggs and Davis outside and then Shakir- who I am still high on- in the slot, and then Josh can move Knox and Kincaid around wherever he wants, would make things very flexible. Or you put cook or hines instead of shakir. It's 12 personnel but we can split 4 or 5 out. You wanna roll nickel? ok we should have size advantage to run... and you might get a nickel back trying to cover a knox or kincaid. you add an extra backer? Good luck covering cook and hines with your linebacker. Create mismatches. I look at it like we struggled against blitzes at times last year - we can use a big target to find soft spots and make contested catches. We also didn't have as much of a game within the red zone, and i think adding a dynamic TE can unlock a bit more of a run game and play action within that spasce.

Exactly...Did not have TE on my mind AT ALL outside of Washington...I was on the phone with my Nephew literally telling him I want Washington or Mazi there... I really have no idea why I never thought about Kincaid because we were just talking about no TE's taken to that point, and how weird it was. Then the Bills trade up, and I said to him "Who are they jumping ahead of Dallas for?" Then it hit me immediately... Kincaid...I was mocking to Kincaid to the Cowboys since forever. And I was a little shocked for a few mins...Not gonna lie... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabstblueribbon Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) I'm in agreement that this will be up to Dorsey. I made the terrible mistake of picking Kyle Pitts last season in fantasy, which lead to watching more Falcons games than usual. The take away I had was that atl was trying to stick a square peg in a round hole. They took a Jimmy Graham and tried to make him a George Kittle and his supreme athleticism was wasted trying to learn how to block on the line like a "traditional TE". We really just need DK to block down the field at a Gabe Davis / Robert Woods level and allow him to find open holes and make Dorsey look like an offensive mastermind lol. Sometimes when I watch KC I wonder how much is Andy Reid and how much is Travis Kelce, every time that guy mysteriously finds himself WIDE OPEN!

Nihilarian Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Just think for a min... if this kid is anything like KC TE Travis Kelce...what that will do for Josh Allen and that Buffalo passing offense. Also, think of the history of the Dallas Cowboy's long list of top TEs and Buffalo went up and grabbed this kid away from them...simply awesome! Now the Bills will look to fill other positions and their needs with the remaining draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a slot WR who is also a huge bowling ball, with insane hands and insane ability to highpoint. He'd be all-pro with pretty much any team assuming they had a QB worth a damn.

TJ Hockenson was very productive in his second season with the Lions too - 67 catches, 11 ypr, and 6 TDs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBear Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I like the pick a lot, but I think we need to slow our roll in comparing Kincaid to one of the top two pass catching TE's in history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldnt ever be compared to a TE I mean I'm not offended or anything. Generally, he talks too much. He's irrelevant. He could take it all as a compliment that they are using that avenue to compliment his route running etc. JMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouldnt ever be compared to a TE 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsSbSoon Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Trading ahead of Dallas for the second year in a row and picking their guy is absolutely hysterical. The look on their faces in the Dallas war room after when McCarthy is spouting out nonsense to jerry jones is meme worthy Edited April 28, 2023 by BillsSbSoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can argue he is not the best but to argue he is not easily top 10 is absurd. Misses: Star Trent Murphy Epenesa Ed Oliver at 9 Boogie Basham Spencer Brown Not doing anything significant at OL for a long time Zack Moss Trading for Hines and not using him Not having any WR's last season and signing Brown and Beasley Cody Ford Trading away Teller Dumping Hodgins for nothing to keep Jake Kumerow Tyler Kroft Frank Gore, Chris Ivory monstrosities Drafting 3 running backs in the top 3 rounds in 4 years Terrell Bernard special teamer in the third round Overpaying Dawson Knox Having McKenzie play way too much A bunch of minor misses in Free Agency (Quinton Jefferson, OJ Howard) Rodger Saffold Hits: Josh Allen (Obviously one of the greatest moves we have ever made) Diggs trade Gabe Davis in the 4th Dane Jackson in the 7th DaQuan Jones Edmunds Taron Johnson Mitch Morse Beasley Dawson Knox (in the draft) Tyler Bass Singletary (kind of) Minor hits in the draft (Harrison Phillips) This doesn't sound like the record of a top 10 GM to me.

Bruffalo Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I'm firmly in the "well that's fine" camp on this pick. I'm not that excited, TEs rarely make a big splash year 1. Maybe it'll make Knox better, I don't know. I still want Hopkins or a WR investment in round 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
