Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

The Bills went off the board in a big way for Evan Williams, 23 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McKinstry.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 28 they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot.
Pick60 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
They took DeWayne Carter at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the 128th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, LaDarius Henderson in pick No. 162. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Andrew Raym
A big swing on Andrew Raym at the 165th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
No edge and no loss on De'Corian Clark in No. 197; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
They went early on J.J. Weaver in Round 6, Pick 27, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They liked Brevyn Spann-Ford enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 206. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at the 249th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
