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

The Bills treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 170 on Teddye Buchanan a full 82 spots early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Williams value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick No. 30 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick 62 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at Round 4, Pick 7 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Moore. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A real head-scratcher, Oronde Gadsden II in slot 169 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Teddye Buchanan
Value said wait; Teddye Buchanan in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at Round 5, Pick 35 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jermari Harris
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jermari Harris this early at pick No. 177. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Zeek Biggers
A wild overpay on Zeek Biggers in the 206th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
