Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Majors. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jake Majors at pick No. 169 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Every board in the league had Prather lower, and that gap is the story. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 29th overall pick they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 60 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They went early on Deone Walker in No. 61, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elic Ayomanor in pick 108. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They barely believed it either: Andrew Mukuba still on the board at pick No. 130. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jake Majors
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Majors reach Round 5, Pick 32 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 172nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
They reached a country mile for Jaylin Smith at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kaden Prather
A big swing on Kaden Prather at pick 207, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
