Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesD FutureC
The Bills let Ersery fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Aireontae Ersery tumbling to the Bills in slot 177 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will answer for taking cornerback early while safety, quarterback and other spots went begging.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. at pick 56 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Bradyn Swinson
A edge rusher of that caliber at slot 109 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Trey Amos
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Trey Amos while clear needs at safety, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick127 Rnd4 Alfred Collins
Circle this one: Alfred Collins at pick No. 127 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at the 132nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in No. 169 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in Round 5, Pick 32 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at slot 173 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Aireontae Ersery
You do not let an offensive lineman like Aireontae Ersery reach No. 177 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in the 206th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
