The Bills got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bills did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Put together, it is a D-.
They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. The Jackson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker, safety and other spots still on the board.
The cost of the Hartman reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Turner at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dallas Turner at pick No. 28 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
They read the board right and Troy Franklin was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
They liked Mike Sainristil enough to skip the value, taking him in the 60th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick83
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Khyree Jackson while clear needs at linebacker, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick99
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at No. 99 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
By-the-book stuff, Leonard Taylor III at Round 4, Pick 12 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 128th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
They took Mason McCormick at par in pick 144, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing is a better player than No. 155 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaiah Davis in the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in the 189th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Value said wait; Sam Hartman in the 240th pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
