The Buffalo Bills may very well have leveled the playing field at the top of the AFC with the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals by selecting tight end Dalton Kincaid at No. 25 in the 2023 NFL Draft. 

In fact, NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah said in an appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show" that he believes that the Bills got one of the 10 best players in the entire class. 

"If we say that Bijan Robinson was kind of his own player, I thought that the best pass catcher in this entire draft was Kincaid. He was my ninth overall player. I just think that everything he does really well translates ... with the ability to separate ... he's got unbelievable hands. He creates wins in the red zone ... he creates wins on third down. 

"And you made an astute point about Josh having some turnovers down there in the red zone, well it's going to get easier. He's going to make his life a lot easier down there, because he can really uncover. 

"So, I just thought that you've got a premier young quarterback and a draft that maybe lacked some of the juice with pass catchers, I thought he was the best one. And lo and behold, he's gonna get to play with Josh Allen." 

Kincaid scored eight touchdowns in each of his final two seasons at Utah, and peaked with 70 catches for 890 yards in his final collegiate campaign. A Bills offense that already included Stefon Diggs, Dawson Knox and Gabriel Davis seemingly needed another element to keep up in the loaded AFC. It appears they got that in Kincaid.
