Buffalo Bills
High marks: Tight end Kevin Everett adequately addressed a depth issue, as did center Raymond Preston, guard Justin Geisinger and running back Lionel Gates.
Low marks: The second-round pick lavished on wide receiver Roscoe Parrish wasn't a need and really should have gone to something else. With the Travis Henry-for-L.J. Shelton deal flaming out, the Bills had to address left offensive tackle but didn't. The need at defensive tackle didn't get addressed, and fifth-rounder Eric King doesn't really fulfill the need for a commanding cornerback. Taking Parrish over a tackle prospect like Syracuse's Adam Terry (or a trade up a few spots to take Khalif Barnes) was stupefying.
Final grade: C
Miami Dolphins
High marks: One of the best drafts this year. Coach Nick Saban really did his homework, then got some luck. Running back, inside linebacker (for the occasional 3-4 look) and defensive end were all big needs, and Saban filled them with great talent. Running back Ronnie Brown's reputation goes without saying, but second-round defensive end Matt Roth and third-round inside linebacker Channing Crowder also have first-round talent. Cornerback Travis Daniels will help with the loss of Patrick Surtain. Offensive tackle Anthony Alabi and defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson are both great projects for both lines. Saban really did well with every single pick he had.
Low marks: Late-round projects at quarterback and wide receiver would have been nice pickups.
Final grade: A-plus
