Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bills: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent pick No. 217 on Austin Siereveld, a name most had 31 spots down the list.

The Moore Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Deontae Lawson
In slot 32 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in the 64th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick96 Rnd3 DeAndre Moore Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like DeAndre Moore Jr. reach No. 96 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant at pick 169 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tristan Leigh
They went early on Tristan Leigh in the 171st overall pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd6 A'Marion Peterson
They reached into another round for A'Marion Peterson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Austin Siereveld
This one needs a full-page explanation: Austin Siereveld in No. 217, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
