Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Bills looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jabbar Muhammad at Round 6, Pick 1 regardless, 62 picks early. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Barron to cover a lot of smaller sins.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 30th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A slide stopped in the 56th overall pick, with Xavier Watts worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jack Bech
They paid sticker price for Jack Bech in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane at No. 109 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in pick 132 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A conviction pick on Jack Nelson at pick No. 169 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at Round 5, Pick 32 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They went early on JJ Pegues in pick 173, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jabbar Muhammad
A big swing on Jabbar Muhammad at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Good price on Tahj Brooks in slot 206, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
