Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bills won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Some picks age like wine; Luke Elzinga at the 177th overall pick will need to, sitting 36 spots clear of his grade. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The Hampton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The phones were where this weekend was really won. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 30 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at Round 2, Pick 26 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick62 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
The board fumbled Benjamin Morrison all the way to No. 62, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamaree Caldwell well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
A conviction pick on Mitchell Evans at the 132nd overall pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They read the board right and Tommi Hill was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A reach for Connor Colby in Round 5, Pick 32; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in No. 173 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke Elzinga this early at pick 177. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick206 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
No drama and no debate, Caleb Ransaw went about where he belonged in pick No. 206. A need, and now a little less of one.
