Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC-
Nobody dealt better than the Bills this weekend: B.

Nobody else had Nick Barrett anywhere near pick 220. The Bills did, by 39 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Dixon value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 KC Concepcion
In slot 26 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick72 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
They took Deontae Lawson at par in the 72nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A tidy bit of business in No. 91, where Zakee Wheatley graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Harold Perkins Jr. in the 126th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keagen Trost at pick 166. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
Nick Barrett in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon slipping to pick 228 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
