Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureC+
Revel Jr. should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Shavon Revel Jr. slides to the 50th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Bills indulged a want in Hairston while a need in offensive lineman, safety and other spots stayed open.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. On the needs board they went 3 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A quiet steal in the 36th overall pick: Kenneth Grant for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at slot 41 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. at the 50th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick70 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 6 on Maxwell Hairston with offensive lineman, safety and other spots unsolved.
Pick177 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in pick 177 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
