Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Stutsman: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Danny Stutsman got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at the 204th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Every board in the league had Travis lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in No. 61 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Aeneas Peebles
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Aeneas Peebles well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in slot 108 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Taking Deontae Lawson in pick 130 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They reached a country mile for Davison Igbinosun at the 169th overall pick, and the board is aghast. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jalen Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Travis. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 176th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Danny Stutsman
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Danny Stutsman in pick No. 204, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at pick 206 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
