The Bills won the night they stopped Golday from sliding. Grade: B+. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bills came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
However the rest shakes out, Golday at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
They will need Crawford to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
CJ Allen
In pick No. 26 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jake Golday
Steal is underselling it; Jake Golday at slot 91 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
By-the-book stuff, Keylan Rutledge at Round 4, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166
Rnd5
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jermaine Mathews Jr. in pick 166; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick220
Rnd7
Keyron Crawford
A reach on Keyron Crawford in the 220th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228
Rnd7
Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona in the 228th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
