Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureC+
The Bills won the night they stopped Phillips from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jordan Phillips, the No. 109 name on the board, in the 132nd overall pick. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Walker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Bills indulged a want in Porter while a need in edge rusher and quarterback stayed open.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 32nd pick they get a ballhawk on the back end at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
No drama and no debate, Maxwell Hairston went about where he belonged in pick 56. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick62 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Deone Walker well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Darien Porter
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Darien Porter with edge rusher and quarterback unsolved.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tai Felton
The board had Tai Felton higher than slot 109, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Jordan Phillips in No. 132, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
A reach on Jaydon Blue in Round 5, Pick 31; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 170 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
The board had cheaper options than Jack Kiser at Round 5, Pick 35, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 177 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West in pick 206 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
