Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
The Bills worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bills started one anyway for Jared Wiley, 83 picks ahead of schedule.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Tee Higgins pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at No. 61 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Good price on Zak Zinter in the 99th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick156 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Josh Proctor well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 DeWayne Carter
This one needs a full-page explanation: DeWayne Carter in Round 5, Pick 30, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
They reached into another round for Bryce Foster, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick 207 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in Round 6, Pick 33 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
A premium they did not need to pay, J.J. Weaver a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Devin Leary
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Devin Leary. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
