Grand theft in the Round 5 slot: the Bills steal Golday and grade out a B-. Somebody in pick 166 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bills sat still while Jake Golday, the No. 63 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
Reaching for Perkins Jr. left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
They went 3 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Brandon Cisse
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a lockdown presence outside, reach and all.
Pick60
Rnd2
Harold Perkins Jr.
They reached into another round for Harold Perkins Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91
Rnd3
Akheem Mesidor
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 91 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
They let Parker Brailsford come to them and pounced at pick 126. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166
Rnd5
Jake Golday
Steal is underselling it; Jake Golday at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220
Rnd7
Thaddeus Dixon
Fair-plus on Thaddeus Dixon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick228
Rnd7
Owen Heinecke
This one needs a full-page explanation: Owen Heinecke in No. 228, miles early. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
