Overall B

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

The board owed the Bills one, and it paid up: John Mateer, the No. 136 name on the board, sitting there at the 171st pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In slot 32 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Makhi Hughes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Makhi Hughes in the 64th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at pick 96 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Luke Hasz
They took Luke Hasz at par in pick No. 132, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 John Mateer
Somehow John Mateer was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 33, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Marquis Johnson
Marquis Johnson slipping to No. 217 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Rico Flores Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Rico Flores Jr. at the 222nd pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
They let Tony Grimes come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
