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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jay Higgins, Round 6, Pick 29, roughly 81 picks past where he belonged.

If Frazier pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Fair-plus on Kenneth Grant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 29 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Denzel Burke. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick108 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in No. 108 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 130th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Harold Perkins Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Harold Perkins Jr. reach pick 169 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They took Cam Skattebo at par in slot 172, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at pick No. 176 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 204th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Rod Moore
Steal is underselling it; Rod Moore at Round 6, Pick 31 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
