Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B.

The Bills put a flag in the ground for Que Robinson, 20 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Alexander.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 30th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A clean, defensible pick in pick 62 with a little surplus value in Azareye'h Thomas. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 109th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
Good price on Kyle Williams in pick No. 132, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at slot 169 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at No. 170 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Que Robinson
They reached into another round for Que Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 177th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A quiet steal in pick No. 206: Oronde Gadsden II for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
