Grand theft in pick 202: the Bills steal Fitzgerald and grade out a B+.

Somebody in No. 202 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bills sat still while Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 117 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Bills indulged a want in Burke while a need in offensive lineman, wide receiver and other spots stayed open.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in the 56th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Denzel Burke adds a cornerback and leaves offensive lineman, wide receiver and other spots untouched.
Pick107 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A safety of that caliber at No. 107 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
Steal is underselling it; Elijah Arroyo at Round 4, Pick 29 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kobe King
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Kobe King in pick 169, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 172nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175 Rnd5 James Burnip
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Burnip in pick No. 175. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
The board fumbled Ryan Fitzgerald all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in Round 6, Pick 29 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
