Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesA- FutureC+
The Bills won the night they stopped Nash from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nick Nash, Round 6, Pick 28, roughly 58 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenneth Grant in the 37th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They read the board right and Tyleik Williams was the payoff at pick 56. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in pick No. 62, and they pounced on premier safety value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Azareye'h Thomas at the 70th overall pick is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at slot 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They barely believed it either: Tez Johnson still on the board at Round 4, Pick 30. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Circle this one: Raheim Sanders at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at No. 179 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick No. 208 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
