Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Henderson: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how LaDarius Henderson got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at No. 197. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 29th pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
No edge and no loss on Mekhi Wingo in slot 60; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Nice patience on Malachi Corley, who had no business lasting to the 92nd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Josh Newton at the Round 3 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 129 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A slide stopped in pick No. 159, with Nehemiah Pritchett worth more than the price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick162 Rnd5 Renardo Green
Renardo Green slipping to Round 5, Pick 26 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
You do not let an offensive lineman like LaDarius Henderson reach No. 197 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 202nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A clean, defensible pick in slot 206 with a little surplus value in AJ Barner. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
By-the-book stuff, David Ugwoegbu at Round 7, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson at pick No. 247 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
