Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Mondon Jr.: B.

When a board-topper like Smael Mondon Jr. slides to Round 5, Pick 32, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Reed proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 30th pick they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They took Azareye'h Thomas at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
The board had Isaiah Bond higher than Round 2, Pick 30, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Fair-plus on Cam Skattebo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick No. 131 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to No. 171, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
A reach for Jaylen Reed in slot 175; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
Somehow Kyle McCord was still sitting there in the 179th overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Circle this one: Nick Nash at the 206th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Addison West
A reasonable price with a little left over, Addison West in the 208th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
