Buffalo Bills

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bills started one anyway for Jeff Caldwell, 19 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Ramsey falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.2 · Pick 34 · Chris Brazzell II · WR · rank 29
Good price on Chris Brazzell II in slot 34, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Jake Golday · OLB · rank 59
Jake Golday in the 65th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.27 · Pick 91 · Kamari Ramsey · S · rank 75
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Kamari Ramsey graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 137
They jumped the gun on DeMonte Capehart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.25 · Pick 165 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 176
Kaleb Elarms-Orr at Round 5, Pick 25 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.28 · Pick 168 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 187
Jeff Caldwell in pick 168 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.1 · Pick 182 · Matt Gulbin · C · rank 181
By-the-book stuff, Matt Gulbin at the 182nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · TJ Hall · CB · rank 220
No drama and no debate, TJ Hall went about where he belonged in the 220th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
