FutureB-
The Bills worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jalen Thompson, 80 picks early at the Round 7 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Zion Young
A real head-scratcher, Zion Young in pick 55 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88
Rnd3
Harold Perkins Jr.
They jumped the gun on Harold Perkins Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109
Rnd4
Charles Jagusah
They reached a country mile for Charles Jagusah at the 109th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
Fair-plus on Zachariah Branch, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164
Rnd5
Max Iheanachor
They took Max Iheanachor at par in the 164th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jalen Thompson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Thompson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230
Rnd7
Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at the 230th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
