Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Bills, and a C+ to match.

The Bills bet big and early on Phillip Webb, 161 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Spears-Jennings pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

The Fortune pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker, offensive lineman and other spots still on the board. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Trey Amos
In pick 30 they get a press-man option on the boundary, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick56 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They paid up for Deone Walker at Round 2, Pick 24 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62 Rnd2 Andrew Mukuba
They took Andrew Mukuba at par in pick No. 62, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalen McLeod
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen McLeod in No. 108, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
A curious use of the 131st pick. Linebacker, offensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in O'Donnell Fortune did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott at slot 171 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick175 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
Taking Robert Spears-Jennings in slot 175 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb in pick 179 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Somehow JJ Pegues was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith slipping to the 208th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
