I give it an A for now.
Lawson- helps with the edge and pass rush. After a 21 sack season as a team, this was much needed. And, at a much lower pay rate than Mario.
Ragland- We needed to get tougher in the middle IMO, The Bills believe he is a batter athlete than given credit. No problem with trading up. I would rather have a player than draft picks. They believe he is their David Harris. Go for it.
Washington- I see the reasoning as he helps with the inside rush against teams like NE. The guy is physically gifted and first team AA from a great program.
Jones- The most physically gifted QB in the draft. He completed 62% of his passes, if the 60% standard had not been met I would not be in favor. UPSIDE.
Williams- Admittedly knew nothing about him. Sounds like a repeated attempt at Karlos. At this point in the draft i"m good with it. As evidenced last year we need RBs in our system-they get hurt
Listenbee- he was on my list as a late round selection and many have likened him to Goodwin. I believe he is more of a receiver than Goodwin ever dreamed of being. Love the speed and the pick.
Seymour-another speedy DB, you knew Bills would take one. At this point take the upside. I think i heard one of the analysts say he is a future starter for what its worth.
Overall- I gave an A because our team's weakness last year was pass rush and the front 7 toughness. Lawson and Ragland are rough, tough guys who will help in these areas. Throw Washington who was third in QB pressures for interior DL and mission accomplished. Got a much needed QB prospect who has outstanding talent and size. Got a receiver from a passing program with world class speed. A Fred Jackson clone perhaps at RB. And, a future starter in the secondary, at least special teams talent.
Downside- Lawson needs shoulder surgery after the season, Ragland comes out on third down, Washington is a situational rusher only, Jones doesn't develop, and the late picks are all washouts...Oh and we traded up to get Ragland. My feeling is that the draft has a very RANDOM element to it. Early in the draft you do the best you can to get BPA and fill needs. We did that. Later in the draft you can't fill needs without alot of luck so you must go for upside. We did that.
