Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Bills let Robinson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Chop Robinson, the No. 35 name on the board, stolen at the Round 2 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Gentry to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter is a better player than pick 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in No. 66 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
They did well to land Tykee Smith in pick No. 99, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in the 129th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
By-the-book stuff, Emani Bailey at the 188th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They paid a round early for De'Corian Clark in slot 197, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They paid sticker price for Jaylen Harrell in pick 202, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 206th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They went early on Eric Gentry in No. 246, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
