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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Xavier Watts, the No. 43 name on the board, stolen at pick 62. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. The Porter reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 30th pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in No. 56 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at Round 2, Pick 30 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Noel at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 109th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A slide stopped in pick 169, with Bhayshul Tuten worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II slipping to slot 206 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
