The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice linebacker is still a hole. The Bills never got to the one that mattered most.

The cost of the Thomas Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

They went 3 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A straight-up fair deal on Kamren Kinchens at pick 60, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They took Isaac Guerendo at par in Round 4, Pick 28, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
