Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bills. Nobody else had Malachi Lawrence anywhere near the 91st pick. The Bills did, by 46 spots, and that gap is the whole story. No fireworks, but a solid B.
However the rest shakes out, Reese at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
The board fumbled Arvell Reese all the way to the 26th pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60
Rnd2
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in slot 60 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91
Rnd3
Malachi Lawrence
This one needs a full-page explanation: Malachi Lawrence in the 91st overall pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
A tidy little value on Keylan Rutledge in No. 126, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166
Rnd5
Rayshaun Benny
A conviction pick on Rayshaun Benny at pick No. 166 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220
Rnd7
Shamar Easter
They paid a round early for Shamar Easter in pick 220, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228
Rnd7
Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
