Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Evans fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Call it larceny. Mitchell Evans sat on the board until pick No. 177, and the Bills did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The TeSlaa pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

With safety, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 30 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A conviction pick on Maxwell Hairston at Round 2, Pick 24 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Darien Porter in the Round 2 slot leaves safety, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
The board had Jaylin Noel higher than pick 109, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 132nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A running back of that caliber at the 169th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
A clean, defensible pick in slot 173 with a little surplus value in Tyler Cooper. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Circle this one: Mitchell Evans at No. 177 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Karene Reid is a better player than pick 204 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
They reached a country mile for Isaac TeSlaa at the 206th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
