Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B-.

The Bills bet big and early on Kitan Crawford, 42 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Bills indulged a want in Porter while a need in linebacker, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. On value alone, Barron makes the weekend a net positive.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 30 they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker, edge rusher and other spots to take Darien Porter, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kevin Winston Jr. at the 109th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at slot 110 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at No. 169 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 173; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kitan Crawford
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kitan Crawford this early at No. 206. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
