Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Lacy: B.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kyren Lacy fell into pick 206. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Reaching for Pegues left real value on the table behind him.

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

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick 58 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick62 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaiah Bond at No. 62. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ozzy Trapilo at the 108th pick is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra is a better player than pick No. 127 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
A straight-up fair deal on Tommi Hill at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kobe King
They barely believed it either: Kobe King still on the board at Round 5, Pick 32. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at the 175th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A premium they did not need to pay, JJ Pegues a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in slot 206 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They robbed the room for Jaylen Reed here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
