Grand theft in No. 96: the Bills steal Scott and grade out a B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Justin Scott, the No. 33 name on the board, in slot 96.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Chris Cole
In pick 32 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaylen McClain
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen McClain at pick No. 71, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick96 Rnd3 Justin Scott
Taking Justin Scott in slot 96 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Vicari Swain
Steal is underselling it; Vicari Swain at the 109th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133 Rnd4 Mike Matthews
By-the-book stuff, Mike Matthews at No. 133 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Sammy Omosigho
No drama and no debate, Sammy Omosigho went about where he belonged in the 137th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jayden Jackson
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Jayden Jackson in Round 6, Pick 5, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Braylon Staley
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braylon Staley. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kam Franklin
No edge and no loss on Kam Franklin in Round 7, Pick 15; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
