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

Thirty-one other rooms let Cam Skattebo slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at Round 6, Pick 1. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A tidy bit of business in pick 56, where JT Tuimoloau graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in slot 62 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 109th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tai Felton
They robbed the room for Tai Felton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in the 169th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
The board fumbled Zy Alexander all the way to pick No. 170, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 35, and they pounced on premier safety value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at pick 177 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
