A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bills spent No. 199 on Frank Gore Jr., a name the board had a full 55 spots lower. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Laumea to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 18 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Kamari Lassiter for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A real head-scratcher, Jaden Hicks in the 99th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A conviction pick on Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 18 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick 148 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
A slide stopped in pick No. 155, with Sataoa Laumea worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at Round 6, Pick 21 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 199, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A big swing on Tahj Washington at the 208th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Value said wait; Steele Chambers in No. 239 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
