Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Moore: B.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Malachi Moore fell into pick No. 169.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 56th pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 62 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
No drama and no debate, Joshua Farmer went about where he belonged in the 109th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They will replay Tez Johnson at No. 132 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
The board fumbled O'Donnell Fortune all the way to pick 170, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick173 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in slot 173 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ty Robinson
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Ty Robinson worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They robbed the room for Jack Kiser here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
