Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Williams: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched James Williams slide 36 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 28th pick they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at No. 60 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Javon Foster at the 128th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Josh Newton at Round 4, Pick 34 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
No edge and no loss on Justin Eboigbe in slot 144; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick160 Rnd5 James Williams
They will replay James Williams at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
The board fumbled Jamari Thrash all the way to pick 163, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
They read the board right and Khristian Boyd was the payoff at pick No. 189. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in Round 6, Pick 25 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tahj Washington in slot 204. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
They robbed the room for Caedan Wallace here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
