The Bills went heavy on defense early at the event, addressing needs in the trenches and secondary starting with cornerback Max Hairston at No. 30 overall in Round 1. Defensive linemen TJ Sanders and Landon Jackson followed in the second and third rounds.
In NFL.com’s poll, the reigning Super Bowl champs in the Philadelphia Eagles stayed at the top position. They are followed by the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs, respectively.
NFL.com’s full breakdown on the Bills in the outlet’s latest power rankings can be found below:
I can’t gripe too much with anything the Bills did in the draft, even if a few loose ends remain. The only reason I didn’t mock CB Maxwell Hairston to Buffalo was because of his so-so tackling; everything else about him made sense to me there. I thought the trade up for DT T.J. Sanders was a wee bit pricey; he was a prospect who left me wanting a little bit more when I watched, but I understand the purpose of the move. The overall focus on defense was obvious and needed. Edge rusher Landon Jackson was one of my favorite picks of theirs and a perfect fit. The Bills only took one wide receiver — Kaden Prather in Round 7 — so that could be a spot they look to upgrade through the veteran ranks. Their work isn’t done, but there’s no reason to think the Bills shouldn’t enter training camp as one of the Super Bowl favorites, even with a wait-and-see approach for the defense.
