Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Nazir Stackhouse pick is the one that will follow the Bills into the fall. They took him 37 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The Wilson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 30 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
They let Nic Scourton come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at No. 109 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 132nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A conviction pick on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 169 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at No. 170 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jason Marshall Jr.. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in pick 177 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Lachey. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
