There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bills took Akheem Mesidor a full 30 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Hit on Akheem Mesidor and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
