Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Bills let Smith-Wade fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Bills one, and it paid up: Chau Smith-Wade, the No. 126 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 189 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will need Jibunor to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 28 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
The board had Chop Robinson higher than pick No. 36, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
No edge and no loss on Bralen Trice in the 65th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Value with a capital V on Christian Jones in the 144th overall pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan slid further than he should have, and No. 160 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
A reach for Braiden McGregor in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at Round 6, Pick 14 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick200 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A premium they did not need to pay, Zion Tupuola-Fetui a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace at slot 247 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick248 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
Richard Jibunor at pick 248 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
