Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Taylor-Demerson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Call it larceny. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson sat on the board until pick 197, and the Bills did not need to be asked twice.

If Allen pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In slot 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick 60 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 DJ James
They went early on DJ James in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick129 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick No. 129 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
They paid sticker price for Keith Randolph Jr. in Round 5, Pick 23, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
No drama and no debate, LaDarius Henderson went about where he belonged in No. 162. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 197th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Value with a capital V on Eric Watts in pick 206, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis in No. 246 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
