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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Tai Felton tumbling to the Bills in the 132nd pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Reaching for Lundt left real value on the table behind him. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 30 they get a green-dot type in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts is a better player than Round 2, Pick 24 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Alfred Collins in No. 62. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A clean, defensible pick in slot 119 with a little surplus value in Denzel Burke. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Steal is underselling it; Tai Felton at pick 132 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick153 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in the 153rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
The board had Bhayshul Tuten higher than the Round 5 slot, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They paid sticker price for Kyle Williams in the 172nd pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They took Ajani Cornelius at par in the 173rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
By-the-book stuff, JJ Pegues at No. 177 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at Round 6, Pick 30 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
