Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The war room fell hard for Oluwafemi Oladejo, and it showed at slot 56: 82 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Giddens pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Williams pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

So much rides on Jahdae Barron that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
A tidy bit of business in pick 30, where Jahdae Barron graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick56 Rnd2 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oluwafemi Oladejo well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Elijah Arroyo
They paid a round early for Elijah Arroyo in the 62nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the 109th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Nohl Williams while clear needs at linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick169 Rnd5 Logan Brown
You do not let an offensive lineman like Logan Brown reach Round 5, Pick 31 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in pick 170 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 35 is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick177 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
A big swing on Alex Mastromanno at the 177th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick206 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Taking DJ Giddens in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
