Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B to prove it.

The Bills did not so much draft Jamaree Caldwell as overpay for him, 91 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They banked enough surplus on Skattebo to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jahdae Barron at pick No. 30. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malaki Starks in the 56th pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 30 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Circle this one: Jaylin Noel at the 131st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach slot 171 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick 175 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at Round 6, Pick 28 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They did well to land Hayden Conner in the 208th pick, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
A real head-scratcher, Kaden Prather in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
