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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched James Williams slide 36 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. If Hall pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
They jumped the gun on Xavier Legette, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60 Rnd2 DJ James
DJ James at the 60th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
By-the-book stuff, Mohamed Kamara at the 128th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They paid sticker price for Mason McCormick in pick No. 144, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 James Williams
Taking James Williams in No. 160 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
They read the board right and Jacob Cowing was the payoff at pick 163. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They went early on Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 4, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A tidy little value on Jordan Jefferson in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A quiet steal in the 200th overall pick: Tahj Washington for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They paid a round early for Gabe Hall in No. 204, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
