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

The board owed the Bills one, and it paid up: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 114 name on the board, sitting there at Round 6, Pick 29 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
They barely believed it either: Walter Nolen still on the board at No. 30. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Warren in slot 56. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 30 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
A slide stopped in pick 107, with Maxwell Hairston worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tory Horton
They will replay Tory Horton at the 130th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in the 169th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Steal is underselling it; Jay Higgins at pick No. 172 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Somehow Joshua Gray was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at slot 204 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
