Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Williams: B.

Somebody in Round 6, Pick 28 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bills sat still while Savion Williams, the No. 98 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden slid further than he should have, and slot 56 is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the 62nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick108 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
They bypassed pressing needs at offensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots to take Denzel Burke, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick131 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 131st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in No. 171 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Robert Spears-Jennings
They robbed the room for Robert Spears-Jennings here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd6 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson is a better player than pick No. 179 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in Round 6, Pick 30 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
