Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Bills this weekend: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bills fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The cost of the Baron reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The Hairston pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, running back and other spots. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Nice patience on Emeka Egbuka, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 5. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 56 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick71 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Maxwell Hairston while clear needs at quarterback, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick109 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander is a better player than the 109th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick 112, where Kevin Winston Jr. graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in the 132nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They did well to land Ty Robinson in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Williams. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Cooper well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Good price on Jay Higgins in the 206th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
