The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Dial: B+.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Marcellas Dial, the No. 194 name on the board, in the 246th pick. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Bills indulged a want in Smith while a need in interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots stayed open. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A slide stopped in the 60th overall pick, with Jackson Powers-Johnson worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still to address, they spent pick 99 on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick159 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at No. 159 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A tidy bit of business in slot 162, where Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A quiet steal in pick No. 198: Jaylan Ford for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Curtis Jacobs at the 202nd pick is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They took Jaylen Harrell at par in Round 6, Pick 31, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Marcellas Dial
Steal is underselling it; Marcellas Dial at slot 246 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
