Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 3, Pick 36: the Bills steal Wilson and grade out a D-.

The phones were a trap the Bills kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Ali lower, and that gap is the story.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 28th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick 44 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick60 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at No. 60 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They barely believed it either: Roman Wilson still on the board at slot 99. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Leonard Taylor III. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They took Cole Bishop at par in pick No. 129, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
No drama and no debate, Ty'Ron Hopper went about where he belonged in the 159th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Rogers at the 162nd pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
They paid up for Rasheen Ali at pick No. 197 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
