Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Bills treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 173 on Nazir Stackhouse a full 34 spots early. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Reed at that price is a win they earned.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 30 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Nothing to complain about; Azareye'h Thomas went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They took Joshua Farmer at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King at pick No. 132 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tommi Hill at the 169th overall pick is the proof. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick170 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They paid a round early for JJ Pegues in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at No. 173 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
They read the board right and Chase Lundt was the payoff at the 177th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jaylen Reed in Round 6, Pick 30, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
