Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
Trapilo should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Ozzy Trapilo slide 66 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They read the board right and Kevin Winston Jr. was the payoff at No. 120. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at Round 4, Pick 30 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158 Rnd5 Ozzy Trapilo
The board fumbled Ozzy Trapilo all the way to the 158th pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Steal is underselling it; Mello Dotson at the 171st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick175 Rnd5 Cody Simon
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach pick 175 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
Taking Kurtis Rourke in pick No. 179 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Robert Spears-Jennings in pick No. 206, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in the 208th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
