Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Bills: C+.

The Bills torched the value chart for Que Robinson, taking him 123 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The final tally is a middling C+.

The Barton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Trey Amos
A big swing on Trey Amos at No. 30, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick56 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They went early on Deone Walker in pick No. 56, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Andrew Mukuba
By-the-book stuff, Andrew Mukuba at pick 62 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
They reached a country mile for Shemar Turner at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at Round 4, Pick 30 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
They did well to land Xavier Scott in the 171st pick, just ahead of his grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick175 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Taking Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Lander Barton
They robbed the room for Lander Barton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in slot 206 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick208 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the 208th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
