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

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Deone Walker fell into No. 132. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Mastromanno lower, and that gap is the story.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick 30 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at Round 2, Pick 24 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A tidy little value on Jayden Higgins in pick No. 62, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in No. 132 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in slot 169 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They jumped the gun on Vernon Broughton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 173rd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They liked Oronde Gadsden II enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 177. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno at pick 206 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
