Draft Grade — Bills

ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 197 lands the Bills a B+, Phillips and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Andru Phillips slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at pick 197. Highway robbery.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will need Keegan to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

With safety, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
No edge and no loss on Adonai Mitchell in pick No. 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at slot 60 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with safety, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A slide stopped in the 128th pick, with Kris Abrams-Draine worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick162 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
They took Frank Gore Jr. at par in Round 5, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Javon Baker
They jumped the gun on Javon Baker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Andru Phillips in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at No. 202 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trevor Keegan in the Round 6 slot, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
Fair-plus on Aaron Frost, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
