The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and DeJean: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Cooper DeJean slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at the 60th pick. Highway robbery.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Coker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 28th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Steal is underselling it; Cooper DeJean at No. 60 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick128 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They let Braelon Allen come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Mohamed Kamara in Round 4, Pick 34, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in pick 144 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick160 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Good price on Josh Newton in the 160th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick163 Rnd5 Myles Harden
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Myles Harden. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jalen Coker
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Coker in pick No. 189 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at Round 6, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick204 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in the 204th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Crum
They paid sticker price for Frank Crum in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
