When the Buffalo Bills brought in Tyler Kroft and drafted Dawson Knox in the third round during the 2019 offseason, it was expected that the team had finally solved the floundering production of their tight end position. However, injuries and stretches of ineffective play for both players has meant that production from the group is still severally lacking—with Knox finishing the 2020 season with only 388 yards and two touchdowns.
General manager Brandon Beane seemed to recognize the ineffectiveness of the team’s tight ends in his end of season comments by mentioning that ”It was never where the opposing defense was like, ‘Man we’ve really got to stop their tight ends from going off,’” As such, he might turn to the draft in order to search for some reinforcements, or even some upgrades, at the position.
