Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Skattebo: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Skattebo, the 175th pick, roughly 70 picks past where he belonged.

They will need Milroe to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Bills indulged a want in Fitzgerald while a need in linebacker, safety and other spots stayed open.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at the 30th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 56 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A quiet steal in pick 62: Aireontae Ersery for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Milroe in No. 81 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darien Porter
They will replay Darien Porter at the 108th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ryan Fitzgerald
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went specialist with Ryan Fitzgerald while clear needs at linebacker, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick171 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at Round 5, Pick 36. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 179th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno at slot 206 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick208 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith slid further than he should have, and No. 208 is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
