Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 56 lands the Bills a B, Grant and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kenneth Grant had no business being available in the 56th overall pick, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Marshall Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Bills indulged a want in Alexander while a need in linebacker, offensive lineman and other spots stayed open. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In slot 30 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in No. 62 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 109th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 30: Zy Alexander adds a cornerback while linebacker, offensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Williams. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
A slide stopped in pick No. 170, with Ben Sauls worth more than the price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Nice patience on Ty Robinson, who had no business lasting to pick 173. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jason Marshall Jr. in the 177th pick, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick206 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke Lachey at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
