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

The real work happened on the phones. The Bills fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Weaver pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The George Pickens deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the 61st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A conviction pick on Jaden Hicks at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
They took Malik Mustapha at par in pick 129, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in slot 162 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
A straight-up fair deal on Delmar Glaze at No. 166, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 Omar Speights
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omar Speights. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
They liked J.J. Weaver enough to skip the value, taking him in the 202nd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 BJ Mayes
They paid a round early for BJ Mayes in Round 6, Pick 32, more than the board wanted. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick250 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
A reach for Trey Wedig in pick 250; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
