The Bills let Briningstool fall and pounced. Final grade: B. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jake Briningstool got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at No. 206. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
The Bills indulged a want in Bryant while a need in edge rusher and quarterback stayed open. The cost of the Pegues reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the 30th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick62
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 62 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 31, where Kaleb Johnson graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 95th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109
Rnd4
Sebastian Castro
They robbed the room for Sebastian Castro here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
A want over a need in pick 132: Cobee Bryant adds a cornerback while edge rusher and quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick169
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
By-the-book stuff, Ajani Cornelius at slot 170 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
They paid up for Jack Kiser at the 173rd pick when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dont'e Thornton Jr.. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jake Briningstool
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Jake Briningstool in pick No. 206, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
The board fumbled Jermari Harris all the way to Round 7, Pick 41, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
