Buffalo Bills

The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Bills torched the value chart for Andre Fuller, taking him 53 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The Caldwell pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · KC Concepcion · WR · rank 27
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R3.27 · Pick 91 · Domonique Orange · DT · rank 76
A quiet steal in pick 91: Domonique Orange for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 178
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaleb Elarms-Orr well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.25 · Pick 165 · Bryce Boettcher · LB · rank 172
Bryce Boettcher at pick No. 165 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.28 · Pick 168 · Keagen Trost · OT · rank 182
They paid a round early for Keagen Trost in slot 168, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.1 · Pick 182 · Andre Fuller · CB · rank 235
They reached a country mile for Andre Fuller at the 182nd pick, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 189
They barely believed it either: Jeff Caldwell still on the board at the 220th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
