Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-

Larceny in the 165th pick lands the Bills a B-, Bell and all.

Somebody in the Round 5 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bills sat still while Jaheim Bell, the No. 140 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They are betting Haladay proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 28th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 60 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jalen McMillan in Round 3, Pick 36, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in pick 165 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the 197th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell in No. 202 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy at pick 206 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick249 Rnd7 Cal Haladay
Cal Haladay at No. 249 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
