Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Smith-Wade fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Chau Smith-Wade got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 160. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 28 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ladd McConkey in pick No. 60, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
You do not let an offensive lineman like Zak Zinter reach Round 4, Pick 28 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at the 134th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in the 144th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Steal is underselling it; Chau Smith-Wade at No. 160 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick163 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in slot 189 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson slipping to pick No. 200 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 29 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A slide stopped in the 248th pick, with Michael Barrett worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
