Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Bills let Colby fall and pounced. Final grade: C+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Connor Colby, the No. 178 name on the board, stolen at slot 202. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

If Landon Jackson and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In No. 30 they get a premier pass rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at Round 2, Pick 24 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 62 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylin Noel in slot 109. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Alexander at the 127th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at pick 132 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They let Tyler Shough come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 169th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Connor Colby
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Connor Colby in Round 6, Pick 26, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
