Jaybeast17 DRAFTING FOR THEBills
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Bills
Overall
C

TradesB-
FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Bills: C. The Bills torched the value chart for Jake Smith, taking him 327 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Call it a C and check back in two years.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Helm. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
If Shavon Revel Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Shavon Revel Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick56
Rnd2
Marcus Dumervil
Marcus Dumervil in pick 56 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jake Smith
Jake Smith at the 62nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Kobe King
Kobe King at pick No. 109 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ja'Quinden Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ja'Quinden Jackson in slot 132, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Joey Slackman
A real head-scratcher, Joey Slackman in the 169th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia in pick No. 170 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick173
Rnd5
R.J. Mickens
They talked themselves into R.J. Mickens at the 173rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177
Rnd6
Gunnar Helm
A tight end of that caliber at pick 177 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jason Marshall Jr. went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 30. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
