The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. The Bills treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 97 on JJ Pegues a full 85 spots early. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
The Winston Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. The Porter pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at linebacker, edge rusher and other spots.
Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56
Rnd2
Trey Amos
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Amos in pick No. 56. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick62
Rnd2
Darien Porter
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Darien Porter at cornerback with linebacker, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick97
Rnd3
JJ Pegues
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for JJ Pegues. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 132 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170
Rnd5
Nick Nash
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 170 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
Good price on Chase Lundt in Round 5, Pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
They did well to land Luke Lachey in the 206th pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
