Draft Grade — Bills

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Wheatley: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Zakee Wheatley got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 91. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

If Oke pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In slot 26 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Deontae Lawson in No. 60. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A safety of that caliber at pick 91 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 David Oke
A reach for David Oke in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kobe Baynes
They took Kobe Baynes at par in pick No. 166, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dijon Johnson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick228 Rnd7 Keyron Crawford
By-the-book stuff, Keyron Crawford at the 228th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
