Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bills.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Akheem Mesidor in the 222nd pick, a good 59 spots before the room expected him.

Getting Lawson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In slot 32 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the 64th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Charles Jagusah
The board had cheaper options than Charles Jagusah at pick 96, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
They jumped the gun on Jacob Rodriguez, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in Round 5, Pick 33 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at the 217th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in pick 222 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Johntay Cook II
By-the-book stuff, Johntay Cook II at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
