Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The phones sank the Bills this weekend: C.

The Bills put a flag in the ground for Tyler Batty, 75 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A mixed bag that lands at C.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Kenneth Grant and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in No. 56 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid sticker price for Maxwell Hairston in slot 62, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick74 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Paul Jr.. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
A curious use of pick 109. Quarterback and tight end needed the pick; a cornerback in Zy Alexander did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They liked Malachi Moore enough to skip the value, taking him in the 132nd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty in slot 169 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid up for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 170 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
A premium they did not need to pay, Vernon Broughton a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at No. 206 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
