How do you get Ridley, Kirk, Jones, Engram, Etienne + new TE the football? I thought it was interesting. I had this preconceived notion that Pederson was going to want a pair of viable receiving threats at the TE position because of what he had in Philadelphia during last year's off season. 

However, he showed that he's an adaptable coach. We don't need that same system of operations here on offense. My concern would be, can Kincaid block? Because we're going to need guys that can help seal the edge or create space out in the open downfield. 

Kincaid is an intriguing prospect. I just don't know if I would want him in this scheme if he's just a carbon copy of Evan Engram. I would rather take the more balanced prospect in RD2 in Darnell Washington or wait until even RD4 and get a guy like Will Mallory instead.

Yeah, I like Kincaid and he's my 2nd TE behind Mayer but I just can't see a scenario where Kincaid is the top player on the board at 24.  Mayer is the only TE I'd be happy with in the first.  Kincaid would be a steal with our 2nd pick though

Agreed on this. Have a hard time seeing Kincaid slipping to us in RD2. Would be thrilled if he did but it seems unlikely as more than likely any of the teams that go QB1 on the opening night are probably going to be eyeing a safety blanket for them in a guy like Kincaid early on the 2nd night of the draft. 

I would rather see them take Brian Branch over Dalton Kincaid with the 24th overall pick if it came down to the two of them. I would take Kancey over him as well. Our need at slot CB/Safety and interior pass rush is greater than a need for a 2nd TE that will get lost in a crowded personnel room IMHO. I would say Guard and Tackle are a bigger need as well. 

Taking a guy like Kincaid in RD1 seems like a luxury pick. What sucks though? You watch. The [BLEEP] Chiefs will take him on the opening night as the heir apparent to Travis Kelce. We'll be dealing with him in the play-off's in 2024 and beyond. LOL.
