Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 169th pick: the Bills steal Jeanty and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ashton Jeanty, the Round 5 slot, roughly 167 picks past where he belonged.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 29 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that.
Pick60 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 60 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick61 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They barely believed it either: Walter Nolen still on the board at slot 61. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 130 on Jahdae Barron with quarterback and tight end unsolved.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ashton Jeanty
The board fumbled Ashton Jeanty all the way to the 169th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
You do not let a linebacker like Jihaad Campbell reach Round 5, Pick 35 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd6 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the 176th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Josaiah Stewart
Circle this one: Josaiah Stewart at the 204th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dylan Fairchild
They robbed the room for Dylan Fairchild here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
