Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane hasn’t shied away from wheeling and dealing his NFL Draft picks, and the 2023 NFL Draft was no exception, as Beane executed several draft-day deals, including moving up in the first round to select Utah tight end/slot receiver Dalton Kincaid.
Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with thoughts from Beane on why, as Kincaid was slipping down the draft board, the Bills felt compelled to go up and get arguably the best pass catcher in the draft.
GM Brandon Beane on why Bills traded up for Dalton Kincaid

Plus, a look into Kincaid’s biggest strengths and weaknesses, and the role he could play in Buffalo’s offense.
