Final draft 7 f keys2/12/2023 Tua Tagovailoa has plenty of weapons now. That’s worth it, and Waddle gives Miami another blurring wideout after adding Will Fuller in free agency. The tradeoff: They netted the 49ers’ first- and third-rounders in 2022, plus their first-rounder in 2023, and they had to give up only a 2022 third-rounder and a first in 2023. Missing out on Kyle Pitts and Ja’Marr Chase hurts, and the Dolphins traded out of the third spot, where they could have had either. Picks: 1-6: Alabama WR Jaylen Waddle 1-18: Miami EDGE Jaelan Phillips 2-36: Oregon S Jevon Holland 2-42: Notre Dame OT Liam Eichenberg 3-81: Boston College TE Hunter Long 7-231: UMass OT Larnel Coleman 7-244: Cincinnati RB Gerrid Doaks Another strong, deep class for GM Brandon Beane and his staff, even with a risky Round 1 pick in Rousseau. And Stevenson was well worth the late dart throw. Doyle was good late value, either as a right tackle or right guard. The Bills might be tantalizingly close to competing for a Super Bowl, but teams that sell out for the immediate needs tend to lose out in the end. The first three picks addressed the lines of scrimmage heavily and with population, helping bolster for the future. We had to pick someone here, and it happened to be Hamlin. Hamlin has a good play temperament with a nose for the ball and decent range, but our suspicion is that he likely will end up a third safety and special teamer because of his size and strength worries. We just wish they had targeted a safety with nickel potential earlier. Geez, we didn’t dislike any of the Bills' picks, and taking a sixth-round flier on Hamlin is no reach at all. He is different than some past Bills edge rushers, but his burst, effort and bulk all can work in a variety of roles. Rousseau has the higher ceiling, but Basham is a favorite of ours. That makes sense with prospective starters Jerry Hughes (age 32) and Mario Addison (33) as possible cut candidates in 2022. Picks: 1-30: Miami EDGE Gregory Rousseau 2-61: Wake Forest EDGE Carlos Basham 3-93: Northern Iowa OT Spencer Brown 5-161: Miami (Ohio) OT Tommy Doyle 6-203: Houston WR Marquez Stevenson 6-212: Pitt S Damar Hamlin 6-213: Wisconsin CB Rachad Wildgoose 7-236: Texas Tech OG Jack Andersonīuffalo is taking the carpet-bombing approach to the EDGE spot, taking Rousseau in the first and Basham in the second after selecting A.J. Here are our final team-by-team grades for the 2021 draft (picks listed by round and overall pick): AFC East Buffalo Bills
