Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
Grand theft in pick No. 144: the Bills steal Wilson and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Johnny Wilson, the No. 125 name on the board, stolen at the Round 5 slot. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
They did well to land Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 3, Pick 7, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They took Isaac Guerendo at par in slot 128, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Fair-plus on Sataoa Laumea, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Somehow Johnny Wilson was still sitting there in No. 144, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick184 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in the 184th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A straight-up fair deal on Joe Milton III at the 200th pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Nothing to complain about; Curtis Jacobs went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
They will replay Nathan Thomas at the 248th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
