Good, not great, for the Bills: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bills took Austin Reed a full 26 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Foster pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 60th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in No. 128, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A tidy bit of business in slot 134, where Javon Foster graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nehemiah Pritchett. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick160 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick slid further than he should have, and pick No. 160 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sione Vaki in No. 163. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
No drama and no debate, Jase McClellan went about where he belonged in pick No. 189. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the 200th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
No edge and no loss on Drake Nugent in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Austin Reed
Austin Reed in slot 248 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
