Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureD-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Bills: C+.

The Bills bet big and early on Matt Lee, 48 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker, quarterback and other spots still on the board. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

If Laiatu Latu and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
Nothing to complain about; Laiatu Latu went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They jumped the gun on Xavier Legette, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
The board had cheaper options than Cooper Beebe at pick 60, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of the 89th overall pick. Linebacker, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
They paid a round early for Jalyx Hunt in the 159th pick, more than the board wanted. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Jefferson well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at the 198th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick246 Rnd7 Matt Lee
They reached into another round for Matt Lee, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
