Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bills took Shemar James at the 169th pick, roughly 73 spots before his name belonged.

Moore falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 20th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
The board fumbled Nic Scourton all the way to the 56th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaydon Blue
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaydon Blue well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kobe King
Nothing to complain about; Kobe King went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Shemar James
They talked themselves into Shemar James at No. 169, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at slot 170 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at pick No. 177 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
A real head-scratcher, Ty Hamilton in the 206th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
