Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 207: the Bills steal Phillips and grade out a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Andru Phillips at Round 6, Pick 32 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. Baker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the 29th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in pick No. 61 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They paid sticker price for Tykee Smith in Round 3, Pick 36, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at the 129th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
Taking Johnny Dixon in slot 162 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick166 Rnd5 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in pick 166 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They robbed the room for Curtis Jacobs here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
A cornerback of that caliber at the 207th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nick Andersen
Nick Andersen at pick 250 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
