Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bills spent the 206th pick on Teddye Buchanan, a name the board had a full 46 spots lower.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Winston Jr.. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 30 they get a three-down second-level presence. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 56 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 30 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Phillips. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 132nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten slipping to slot 169 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They took Kyle Williams at par in pick No. 170, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 CJ West
A conviction pick on CJ West at pick 173 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They went early on Oronde Gadsden II in the 177th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
A wild overpay on Teddye Buchanan in No. 206, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
