Draft Grade — Bills
Overall

FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-. Everything else got attention, and offensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Bills to leave a draft.
Every board in the league had Allen lower, and that gap is the story. On the needs board they went 2 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.
Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
CJ Allen
A reach on CJ Allen in the 26th pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60
Rnd2
Ja'Kobi Lane
They went early on Ja'Kobi Lane in Round 2, Pick 28, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
