Grand theft in slot 196: the Bills steal Sturdivant and grade out a B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: J. Michael Sturdivant, the No. 159 name on the board, in No. 196. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Tupuola-Fetui proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 18th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A clean, defensible pick in the 50th overall pick with a little surplus value in Patrick Paul. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Good price on Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in slot 118 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick146 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Sanders at Round 5, Pick 10 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick No. 155 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick 191 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick196 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at No. 196 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Circle this one: Cam Hart at pick 204 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick239 Rnd7 Trey Knox
A conviction pick on Trey Knox at the 239th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
