The Buffalo Bills needed another pass catcher for quarterback Josh Allen, but the run on wide receivers from picks No. 20 through 24 left them with few options.

But as it got closer to the Bills selection at pick No. 27, general manager Brandon Beane knew he couldnt sit around and wait for tight Dalton Kincaid the top-ranked pass catcher left on the board to fall in his lap. Instead, he got aggressive.

"That's when we started making calls to the teams in front of us," Beane said Monday on SiriusXM NFL Radio. "For us, it was worth giving up that pick to ensure we got him."

Beane traded the No. 27 pick plus an additional fourth-rounder to the Jacksonville Jaguars for pick No. 25, leapfrogging the Dallas Cowboys at No. 26 to land the 6-foot-4 Utah tight end.

Beane stated he had a good feeling the Cowboys would have taken Kincaid had he not beaten them to the punch.
