Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bills spent Round 5, Pick 35 on Tyler Batty, a name the board had a full 66 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Watts.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at No. 30 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Xavier Watts at Round 2, Pick 24. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 62nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They read the board right and Cam Skattebo was the payoff at the 109th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at pick 132 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They paid a round early for Jack Kiser in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They went early on Quincy Riley in No. 170, and the value did not follow. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Batty. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
No edge and no loss on Nazir Stackhouse in the 206th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
