Larceny in slot 249 lands the Bills a B, Williams and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Miyan Williams had no business being available in pick No. 249, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They are betting Stogner proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in pick 60 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They did well to land Zak Zinter in pick No. 99, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at No. 128, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
The board had cheaper options than Delmar Glaze at the 162nd pick, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Austin Stogner
They talked themselves into Austin Stogner at the 165th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at slot 197 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
A swing that ignored the value entirely, J.J. Weaver well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Omar Speights
By-the-book stuff, Omar Speights at pick No. 206 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
You do not let a running back like Miyan Williams reach the 249th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
