Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Williams: B.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Savion Williams fell into the 170th overall pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Nice patience on Malaki Starks, who had no business lasting to No. 41. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in slot 56 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick88 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 88th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A clean, defensible pick in the 132nd pick with a little surplus value in Darius Alexander. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
The board fumbled Kalel Mullings all the way to pick 169, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Savion Williams
Circle this one: Savion Williams at Round 5, Pick 32 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at pick No. 173 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
