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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Elijah Simmons at the 249th pick is 75 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Cohen pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
They read the board right and Rome Odunze was the payoff at the 28th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Calen Bullock in pick 60. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Circle this one: Brenden Rice at slot 99 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 DJ James
Value with a capital V on DJ James in pick No. 128, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
They paid sticker price for Cedric Johnson in No. 162, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Javion Cohen
Somehow Javion Cohen was still sitting there in the 197th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
By-the-book stuff, Jared Wiley at Round 6, Pick 31 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Elijah Simmons
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Simmons in the 249th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
