Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Giddens fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like DJ Giddens slides to pick No. 208, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If Biggers pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jihaad Campbell at No. 56 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They went early on Maxwell Hairston in the 62nd pick, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 131. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
The board fumbled Darius Alexander all the way to the 171st overall pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 175 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson slid further than he should have, and pick 179 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Zeek Biggers
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zeek Biggers. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick208 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at slot 208 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
