Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Higgins should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

The board owed the Bills one, and it paid up: Jay Higgins, the No. 121 name on the board, sitting there at the 207th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They are betting Prather proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori slid further than he should have, and pick 29 is lovely value for the safety. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Shavon Revel Jr. at Round 2, Pick 29 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick108 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to slot 108, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
The board had Cam Skattebo higher than pick No. 130, and the running back fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in No. 169 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 172nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Kaden Prather
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaden Prather well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Miles Frazier at slot 204 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
