More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it. Of all the ways to open, the Bills chose the head-scratcher, spending the 132nd pick on Mello Dotson with offensive lineman, safety and other spots still wide open.
Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Alexander at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Ingram-Dawkins has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In No. 30 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris in pick 56 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at slot 62 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander is a better player than the 109th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132
Rnd4
Mello Dotson
A want over a need in pick No. 132: Mello Dotson adds a cornerback while offensive lineman, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jake Briningstool
No drama and no debate, Jake Briningstool went about where he belonged in No. 169. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
No edge and no loss on Kyle Williams in Round 5, Pick 32; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173
Rnd5
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
They paid sticker price for Jack Kiser in the 177th overall pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
Good price on Jason Marshall Jr. in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
