Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Rice: B.

When a board-topper like Brenden Rice slides to slot 99, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 28th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
They took Adisa Isaac at par in Round 2, Pick 29, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Taking Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 James Williams
The board had James Williams higher than the 152nd overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They paid sticker price for Khristian Boyd in slot 159, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in No. 162 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick195 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at pick 195 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 197 is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Circle this one: Kitan Oladapo at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl slid further than he should have, and slot 206 is lovely value for the OT-EDGE. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick207 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Good price on Andrew Raym in pick 207, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the 234th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
By-the-book stuff, Taulia Tagovailoa at the 246th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
