Bills: Dalton Kincaid only dropped two passes in his college career

While it may not have been the pick that the Bills Mafia thought, Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott went all out to get their guy. The duo moved up in the 2023 NFL Draft in a trade with Jacksonville to secure the 25th pick which resulted in Utah TE Dalton Kincaid.
When discussing what Kincaid can bring to the table, Beane let it all out on the table. The Bills general manager discussed, briefly, that he was hoping to get Cole Beasley-like production without explicitly saying those exact words.
Beasley was deadly in the slot and Kincaid could immediately fill that role as a bigger-bodied threat for Josh Allen. Deploying a 12-personnel set is something Beane has tried to play with over the past few years with signings like O.J. Howard and Jacob Hollister to pair with Dawson Knox.
Now, as the smoke cleared and the dust settled, an interesting stat from Kincaid's college days may be yet another reason Brandon Beane moved up to take him. Kincaid has excellent hands and was widely considered the number one tight end in the draft.
One of the reasons Kincaid was so effective was that he seemingly caught everything, almost quite literally. Kincaid, throughout his entire collegiate career, registered 126 receptions with only 2 dropped passes.
Buffalo struggled last season with catches as they were top-five in the NFL in dropped passes. Adding a starting caliber offensive weapon who can line up in the slot and not drop passes is a dream scenario for the Bills Mafia.
Nothing is certain and Kincaid certainly has his work cut out for him, but Brandon Beane appears to have made yet another calculated move to take the team to the next level.
The rest of the NFL is playing checkers while Brandon Beane plays 3D chess.
