Draft Grade — Bills
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Larceny in the 179th overall pick lands the Bills a A-, Ransom and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Lathan Ransom at slot 179 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, with Cam Skattebo leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick105 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
No drama and no debate, Cam Skattebo went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at No. 108 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in pick 131 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jay Higgins in Round 5, Pick 32, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Somehow Tyler Shough was still sitting there in slot 175, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
They will replay Lathan Ransom at the 179th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 206th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 208, where Luke Elzinga graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
