Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bills.

The Bills pounced the moment Xavier Watts slipped to the Round 2 slot, and it is the smartest thing they did all weekend. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Jones proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 30th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 27, where Xavier Watts graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A reach on Maxwell Hairston in the 62nd pick; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at slot 109 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at pick No. 129 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at No. 132 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
Good price on Ben Sauls in the 169th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Kyle Williams at slot 170, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in No. 173 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd6 Connor Colby
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Connor Colby. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Woody Marks
A quiet steal in the 210th pick: Woody Marks for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
