Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 206 lands the Bills a B, Ersery and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Aireontae Ersery at Round 6, Pick 30 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at pick 56 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 62nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Burch
Circle this one: Jordan Burch at the 109th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
Somehow Ashton Jeanty was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Armand Membou
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 31 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at pick No. 170 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in No. 173, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick 177 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
