Draft Grade — Bills
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureD+
The Bills reached for Hatten and never recovered. Grade: F.

The Hayden Hatten selection is the head-turner. The Bills reached 73 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The warnings were there, and the F is the bill.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Landing Williams that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
No edge and no loss on Keon Coleman in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 29 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A clean, defensible pick in slot 48 with a little surplus value in Xavier Legette. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Nothing to complain about; Kris Jenkins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske slipping to the 99th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at No. 100 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in slot 129 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at pick No. 156 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 166th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
They paid sticker price for Joshua Gray in Round 6, Pick 25, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
A quiet steal in No. 207: Miyan Williams for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
They took Sheridan Jones at par in pick 208, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick218 Rnd6 Ja'Had Carter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ja'Had Carter well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Hatten. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
