Adam0831 DRAFTING FOR THEBills
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Bills
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent Round 5, Pick 24 on Braylan Shelby, a name most had 40 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Lane pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Christen Miller
In slot 24 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56
Rnd2
Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane slipping to Round 2, Pick 24 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Whit Weeks
They paid sticker price for Whit Weeks in No. 88, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tao Johnson
They took Tao Johnson at par in pick 124, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163
Rnd5
Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby in the 163rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III is a better player than pick No. 222 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229
Rnd7
Kelby Collins
They liked Kelby Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 229. A need, and now a little less of one.
