Draft Grade — Bills

ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Shough: B.

The board owed the Bills one, and it paid up: Tyler Shough, the No. 137 name on the board, sitting there at the 208th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Reaching for Simpkins III left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. 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 wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
They let Kenneth Grant come to them and pounced at Round 1, Pick 30. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Trey Amos. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in pick 108, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A tidy little value on Darius Alexander in slot 131, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the 171st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dorian Strong at pick No. 175 is the proof. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick179 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in the 179th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at the 206th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
