A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bills took Curtis Jacobs a full 35 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Turner steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 28th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 28: Blake Fisher for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at slot 134 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 144, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick 156 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
They took Dillon Johnson at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
They reached into another round for Curtis Jacobs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
No drama and no debate, Johnny Dixon went about where he belonged in the 189th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
