Misleading headline, they didn't do it to block the Cowboys but to get the player they had targeted. They could care less what the Cowboys do in the draft

Cowboys didn’t need a TE round 1

 

[Creeper]

I don't think the Cowboys were going to take Kincaid in the first so the Bills are admitted the Cowboys smokescreen fooled them.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

I tend to agree that the Bills did take Kincaid away from Dallas. I don't mind the Mazi pick, but Jerry intended to get Kincaid. The desperate selection of Schoonmaker in the 2nd confirms to me they wanted or felt they needed a TE. Of course Jerry is not gonna admit they got screwed again. Not a good look.

This. When people think other teams do certain things to specifically stop the Cowboys is laughable.

No NFL front office in the modern era stops to think about how they can stop Dallas lol.

if we wouldve drafted a TE in the first i dont know what i wouldve done

i wouldve spammed FO hate all over this board Reddit style

I’m not so sure the Cowboys didn’t have Laporta as the top TE in the draft.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Jerry intended to get Kincaid.

Nope. Taking a TE at 26 wasn't in the plans.

Folks need to just accept that because it's true.

They like Laporta better than Kincaid for crying out loud.

 

[Captain-Crash]

how stupid, like they did that just to keep the powerhouse cowboys from getting him. sheesh. what a load of crap. that's the guy they wanted. smh, and idiots will believe they did that just to keep us from getting him. lmao

Exactly how much less could they care? Can you quantify it?

 

[CT Dal Fan]

False claims. The Bills wanted Kincaid and moved up to get him. Not so much to keep him out of Dallas because the Cowboys could have traded out to another team wanting Kincaid too.

I will stand by this: the Bills wanted Kincaid all along and the Cowboys wanted Mazi Smith all along. And if Dallas is lying about Smith being their guy all along then why didn't they take the trade down deals the Chiefs and Raiders were giving them?

You love to knock on the front office, don't you ? I guess they should of traded 4 years worth of #1 picks to get into the top 3 and pick the legendary Dalton Kincaid. Would that make you impressed with the FO ? Dallas wound up with a better, more unique player. There's 10 Dalton Kincaids in this draft. Not nearly as many Mazi Smiths.

He's entitled to his opinion.

Absolutely absurd opinion.

You should really leave the conversation to the people who follow college football and the draft. Pom pom season is ahead and more your speed.

It doesn't matter at this point. Whether it affected the Cowboys 1st round pick or not, I'm so glad the Cowboys finally addressed the interior 1-tech NT position early with a very good player in Mazi.

 

[noshame]

Thank you for stopping jerry from himself

If they wanted Kinkaid why didn’t they just take Mayer? They did not want TE.

This should be the focus. We haven't had a DT like Smith in a very long time and it directly addressed the lone weakness of this defense.
