Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

Nobody had Braelon Allen this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 52 spots to get him at pick No. 99. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Getting Watson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 29th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at Round 2, Pick 29 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A real head-scratcher, Braelon Allen in slot 99 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cole Bishop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Jefferson at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Andru Phillips
They paid sticker price for Andru Phillips in the 166th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick198 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones in pick 202 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick207 Rnd6 Brian Ugwu
A straight-up fair deal on Brian Ugwu at No. 207, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 250th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
