Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Warren fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bills were there to profit. Tyler Warren, the No. 16 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 60.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. If Pegues pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mike Green
Mike Green at the Round 1 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at pick 60 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick62 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at pick No. 62. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at the 102nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
The board had Darius Alexander higher than slot 109, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
No edge and no loss on Mello Dotson in the 132nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at No. 169 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 32 is lovely value for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at Round 5, Pick 35 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 Que Robinson
They jumped the gun on Que Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Circle this one: Seth McLaughlin at the 196th pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kobe Hudson
A premium they did not need to pay, Kobe Hudson a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
