Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Wilson: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Payton Wilson, No. 102, roughly 37 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Reaching for Robinson left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid a round early for Cooper Beebe in pick No. 65, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darius Robinson in pick 99, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Payton Wilson in slot 102, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in No. 129 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
No edge and no loss on Keith Randolph Jr. in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
A conviction pick on Grayson Murphy at the 162nd pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They went early on De'Corian Clark in the 197th overall pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 27 is the definition of value, full stop. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick206 Rnd6 Michael Wiley
Value with a capital V on Michael Wiley in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Nothing to complain about; Myles Harden went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
