Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB
Good, not great, for the Bills: B.

The Myles Cole pick is the one that will follow the Bills into the fall. They took him 30 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Getting Worthy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Troy Franklin in pick No. 34. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A tidy bit of business in slot 61, where Xavier Worthy graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at Round 3, Pick 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in the 103rd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in pick 162 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
No edge and no loss on Jahdae Barron in pick 166; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Value with a capital V on Jaylan Ford in slot 198, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the 202nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at pick No. 207 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kingsley Eguakun
A real head-scratcher, Kingsley Eguakun in No. 224 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Myles Cole
They reached a country mile for Myles Cole at the 250th pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
