Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureC-
The Bills checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody had Aeneas Peebles this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 34 spots to get him at the Round 4 slot.

The Watts steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 17th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at pick 56, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
The board fumbled Xavier Watts all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at pick No. 110 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Nice patience on Andres Borregales, who had no business lasting to the 170th overall pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
No drama and no debate, Ajani Cornelius went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 35. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at No. 177 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick 206 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
