Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureC
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Bills get a C+.

It is a puzzling start. The Bills had linebacker, quarterback and other spots to solve and reached instead for O'Donnell Fortune, a cornerback, at pick No. 132. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Fortune to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Moore at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They paid sticker price for Tyleik Williams in the 39th overall pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in slot 41 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
No drama and no debate, Jayden Higgins went about where he belonged in the 56th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid a round early for Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 63, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in Round 4, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
A surprising call. With linebacker, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent No. 132 on O'Donnell Fortune, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Nice patience on Malachi Moore, who had no business lasting to pick 148. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
By-the-book stuff, DJ Giddens at the 170th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They jumped the gun on Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 Que Robinson
A reach on Que Robinson in slot 177; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Addison West
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Addison West. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
