Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Sampson: B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dylan Sampson, the No. 65 name on the board, in Round 6, Pick 4. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 30 they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Watts in the Round 2 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They paid sticker price for Azareye'h Thomas in the 62nd overall pick, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick108 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
They barely believed it either: Elijah Arroyo still on the board at pick 108. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
They will replay Jaylin Noel at the 131st pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Taking Barrett Carter in Round 5, Pick 34 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at slot 175 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dylan Sampson
Somehow Dylan Sampson was still sitting there in No. 179, and they pounced on premier running back value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 31 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 James Burnip
James Burnip in the 229th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
