Why the Bills zeroed in on tight end Dalton Kincaid, traded up for him in the draft

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- At pick No. 20 in April's NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks took the first wide receiver off the board with Ohio State’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

One of the Buffalo Bills' tasks coming into the draft was figuring out where the run on pass-catchers would start. The fact it wasn’t until the second half of the first day benefited the Bills, whose first pick wasn't slated to be until No. 27. Three more wide receivers were chosen after Smith-Njigba, making it the first time in the common draft era there were four straight wide receivers picked in Round 1.
