Give the room credit for holding its nerve. CJ Allen came off the board 16 spots later than his grade, and the Bills were the ones waiting when he fell.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Rucci reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
