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

Somebody in Round 4, Pick 30 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bills sat still while Tez Johnson, the No. 99 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Hairston has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
A quiet steal in pick No. 30: Jalon Walker for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in slot 57 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Nothing to complain about; Alfred Collins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Somehow Ozzy Trapilo was still sitting there in the 108th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 113th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at No. 131 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Ollie Gordon II. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
No edge and no loss on Cobee Bryant in Round 6, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick206 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick No. 206 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jay Higgins still on the board at No. 208. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
