Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bills to a D+.

The Bills did not so much draft James Williams as overpay for him, 36 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In slot 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 29 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 56th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 60 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at No. 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 James Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take James Williams this early at Round 3, Pick 36. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They paid a round early for Cam Hart in No. 129, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick159 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
No drama and no debate, Khristian Boyd went about where he belonged in slot 159. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 162 with a little surplus value in Braelon Allen. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Javon Baker
A tidy bit of business in pick 197, where Javon Baker graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the 202nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Jones at the 206th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
