Draft Grade — Bills

ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 206: the Bills steal Schwesinger and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Carson Schwesinger had no business being available in pick 206, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In slot 30 they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at No. 56 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Alfred Collins in the 62nd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
You do not let a wide receiver like Elic Ayomanor reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at Round 4, Pick 30 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick 169 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Darius Alexander in the 170th pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at pick No. 173 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ozzy Trapilo
They barely believed it either: Ozzy Trapilo still on the board at pick No. 177. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in slot 206 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
