I really don't think Buffalo did poorly here at all. I don't think Worthy was on their radar (their WR room is too small) and I think Mitchell was probably the WR they wanted from this chunk of guys all along. So they'll probably still get their guy and in the process they'll have gotten more of their draft capital moved into the 'meat' of this draft. There's a lot of value to be find in the 50-100 range, IMO. And that's where they seemed to be targeting as well.
Buffalo did fine here. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see them take pick 128 and 141 (from the Panthers deal) and try to use those to get up to the 110 range.
So at that point they'll have taken pick 28 and used it to push two more picks up/near the top 100 from far deeper in the round. There's still work for them to do, but as it presently stands I think they've had a successful draft in a vacuum.

Not sure if it happens like this but I wonder if they had conversations with the Panthers about that 32 pick before they traded with us. They knew they wanted out of the first and the Panthers wanted in for Leggette. Take less value with the Chiefs to get that last pick and then trade it to the Panthers.
Now you get your guy at the top of day 2 and more value like you said. They weren't going to get that staying at 28.
