Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jeremy Crawshaw in pick No. 177, a good 73 spots before the room expected him.

The McCord steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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 Kenneth Grant
In No. 30 they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 15: Jayden Higgins for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 89 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 109th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Value with a capital V on Jeffrey Bassa in slot 132, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at pick No. 169 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
No edge and no loss on Kyle Williams in the 170th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Circle this one: Kyle McCord at the 173rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jeremy Crawshaw
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jeremy Crawshaw well ahead of where he belonged. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Taking Quincy Riley in pick 206 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
