Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bills let Williams fall and pounced. Final grade: D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bills did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

Reaching for Smith left real value on the table behind him. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and offensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
They took Brian Thomas Jr. at par in the Round 1 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard is a better player than No. 58 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the 67th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in the 78th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 91 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 16 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 James Williams
Circle this one: James Williams at slot 144 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 AJ Barner
A reach for AJ Barner in pick No. 163; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in Round 6, Pick 14 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
