Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Felton. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tai Felton, the Round 5 slot, roughly 70 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 30 they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach Round 2, Pick 24 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick64 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in the 64th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jalen Royals
Circle this one: Jalen Royals at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at pick No. 132 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A tidy bit of business in the 164th pick, where O'Donnell Fortune graded well above the range. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tai Felton
Steal is underselling it; Tai Felton at No. 169 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Baron at pick 170 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in No. 173 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
They robbed the room for Billy Bowman Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 206th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
