Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bills let Williams fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Bills came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

The Williams pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Schrader lower, and that gap is the story.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
They did well to land Isaiah Adams in pick No. 128, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in the 139th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in slot 144 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Nothing to complain about; Trevor Keegan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slid further than he should have, and slot 163 is lovely value for the safety. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 James Williams
James Williams at No. 200 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
A reach on Cody Schrader in Round 6, Pick 29; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Bub Means
Steal is underselling it; Bub Means at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
