Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Bills spent real capital to be 67 picks early on De'Corian Clark, and the board is going to hold them to it.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That Slovis pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 28th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in slot 60 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Fair-plus on Zak Zinter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 De'Corian Clark
They left a pile of value on the table to take De'Corian Clark this early at Round 4, Pick 28. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in the 162nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They jumped the gun on Jaylan Ford, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick 197 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell slipping to slot 202 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jalen Green
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Green at No. 206 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis is a better player than the 249th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
