FutureC
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Bills get a C. The Bills did not so much draft Teddye Buchanan as overpay for him, 44 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.
The Evans steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Bills indulged a want in Hairston while a need in edge rusher and quarterback stayed open. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
So much rides on Tyleik Williams that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in the 39th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41
Rnd2
Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick56
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Maxwell Hairston in No. 62 leaves edge rusher and quarterback for later.
Pick109
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kevin Winston Jr. in the 109th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They took Jake Majors at par in slot 132, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 148, where Hollin Pierce graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169
Rnd5
DJ Giddens
No edge and no loss on DJ Giddens in Round 5, Pick 31; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Kyle Williams at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They went early on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 173, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177
Rnd6
Mitchell Evans
Taking Mitchell Evans in the 177th pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206
Rnd6
Teddye Buchanan
A wild overpay on Teddye Buchanan in slot 206, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jeremy Crawshaw
Jeremy Crawshaw at No. 233 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
