Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 206th overall pick lands the Bills a B+, Smith and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Brashard Smith, the No. 131 name on the board, stolen at the 206th pick. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

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

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 30 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
No edge and no loss on Bradyn Swinson in the 58th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in No. 62 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They let Zy Alexander come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Phillips at slot 132 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at the 166th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in Round 5, Pick 31 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tory Horton
They will replay Tory Horton at pick No. 170 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Somehow Jeffrey Bassa was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 35, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Joshua Farmer
Circle this one: Joshua Farmer at No. 177 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
The board fumbled Brashard Smith all the way to pick 206, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
A safety of that caliber at the 241st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
