Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Bills won the night they stopped Hardy from sliding. Grade: C.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bills shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.

The Hardy value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Rosemy-Jacksaint reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Good price on Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Michael Hall Jr. in No. 90, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in pick 99 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They liked Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint enough to skip the value, taking him in the 129th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen slipping to slot 162 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at the 166th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 178th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at slot 202 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They will replay Daequan Hardy at pick 239 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
