Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Simon fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Cody Simon slides to Round 5, Pick 36, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not.

If Burch pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 30th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Xavier Watts at pick 56. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Burch this early at the 62nd pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They will replay Tez Johnson at pick No. 108 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at Round 4, Pick 30 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen in No. 171 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Taking Cody Simon in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
No edge and no loss on Cobee Bryant in slot 179; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jaylen Reed in No. 206, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 208th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
