The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Genesis Smith slide 19 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Ball left real value on the table behind him.
Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
By-the-book stuff, Omar Cooper Jr. at pick No. 37 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Genesis Smith in the 126th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
You do not let a cornerback like Charles Demmings reach Round 5, Pick 28 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Ar'maj Reed-Adams in the 182nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Cameron Ball in No. 186 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Bobby Jamison-Travis in pick 220 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
