Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bills did exactly that with Isaiah Neyor in pick No. 165.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Rourke at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In slot 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in No. 60; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They paid sticker price for Tykee Smith in the 99th overall pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in Round 4, Pick 28 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick162 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
Nothing to complain about; LaDarius Henderson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Isaiah Neyor
Isaiah Neyor at pick 165 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu in the 202nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick206 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at pick No. 206 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Nice patience on Kurtis Rourke, who had no business lasting to slot 249. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
