Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Shough: B+.

Call it larceny. Tyler Shough sat on the board until the 175th overall pick, and the Bills did not need to be asked twice.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts slipping to Round 2, Pick 26 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Nice patience on Savion Williams, who had no business lasting to slot 108. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They let Smael Mondon Jr. come to them and pounced at No. 127. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Somehow Jared Wilson was still sitting there in the 131st overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III slid further than he should have, and pick 171 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in the 175th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at slot 179 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Taking Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 206th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 208th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
