Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 159 lands the Bills a B-, Smith and all.

The board owed the Bills one, and it paid up: Ainias Smith, the No. 130 name on the board, sitting there at the 159th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Legette reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
A tidy little value on Terrion Arnold in pick 28, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in No. 60 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
By-the-book stuff, DeWayne Carter at the 99th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 29 with a little surplus value in Cedric Gray. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Somehow Ainias Smith was still sitting there in pick No. 159, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dillon Johnson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
They liked Keith Randolph Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the 198th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
