Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureF
The Bills turned the phones into found money: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bills reached some 39 spots for Blake Watson, and value like that does not grow back. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 28 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick57 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They paid sticker price for Xavier Worthy in No. 57, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They jumped the gun on Cole Bishop, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 134th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
No edge and no loss on Sione Vaki in the 160th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
They paid up for Braiden McGregor at No. 163 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A big swing on Trevin Wallace at Round 6, Pick 29, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Blake Watson this early at slot 248. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
