Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueD NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
Nobody dealt better than the Bills this weekend: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tykee Smith; the Bills did not wait, grabbing him 79 spots ahead at pick 80. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Tee Higgins deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
A reach on Ja'Lynn Polk in the 60th pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at No. 80 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Myles Cole
They reached a country mile for Myles Cole at slot 128, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They talked themselves into Khristian Boyd at the 144th overall pick, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 M.J. Devonshire
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for M.J. Devonshire. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Eric Watts at slot 189 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Keaton Bills
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keaton Bills in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in No. 204 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in the 248th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
