The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Knight Jr.: B.

Call it larceny. Demetrius Knight Jr. sat on the board until pick No. 108, and the Bills did not need to be asked twice.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Every board in the league had Porter lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They liked Darien Porter enough to skip the value, taking him in the 62nd overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick108 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 108th pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at pick No. 131 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at No. 171 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They barely believed it either: Mitchell Evans still on the board at slot 175. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dorian Strong at pick 179. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
