Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Bills bet big and early on Jalen McLeod, 78 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

On value alone, Borregales makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 30 they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A reach for Jayden Higgins in slot 56; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the 62nd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalen McLeod
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen McLeod this early at the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at No. 171 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick175 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
You do not let a specialist like Andres Borregales reach pick 175 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
A slide stopped in slot 179, with Tyler Cooper worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 CJ West
No edge and no loss on CJ West in the 206th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
