Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bills: B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Bills never addressed linebacker, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

On value alone, Watts makes the weekend a net positive. Robinson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 30th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts slipping to Round 2, Pick 24 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They read the board right and Donovan Ezeiruaku was the payoff at the 62nd overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They took Cam Skattebo at par in pick 109, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tommi Hill at No. 169 is the proof. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at pick No. 170 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
No drama and no debate, Ajani Cornelius went about where he belonged in slot 173. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd6 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at pick 177 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A conviction pick on Jordan Hancock at the 206th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
