Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

The Bills did not so much draft Phillip Webb as overpay for him, 132 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The Noel value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick 30 they get a load in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
No drama and no debate, Azareye'h Thomas went about where he belonged in the 56th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick62 Rnd2 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at No. 62 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at slot 132 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
They barely believed it either: Jaylin Noel still on the board at the 169th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 170; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Clay Webb
They paid up for Clay Webb at No. 173 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
A tidy bit of business in the 177th pick, where RJ Harvey graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
Value said wait; Phillip Webb in pick No. 206 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
