No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bills spent pick 208 on Nohl Williams, a name the board had a full 71 spots lower.

Porter falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
No edge and no loss on Ashton Gillotte in the 56th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Watts at pick 62 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 108th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elijah Roberts in pick No. 131, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They went early on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 171, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They paid sticker price for Chase Lundt in pick No. 175, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at No. 179 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 206th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
A big swing on Nohl Williams at pick 208, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
