Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bills bled value on every deal, hence the C.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bills took Brandon Adams a full 95 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. The Watts value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Hit on Derrick Harmon and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They took Derrick Harmon at par in the 33rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jack Sawyer. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They jumped the gun on Darien Porter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 109th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cody Simon
By-the-book stuff, Cody Simon at pick 132 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
A conviction pick on Jaydon Blue at pick No. 169 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173 Rnd5 Brandon Adams
They reached a country mile for Brandon Adams at pick 173, and the board is aghast. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick177 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at No. 177 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
A big swing on Isaac TeSlaa at Round 6, Pick 30, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
