Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Bills: C+.

The Bills clearly saw something nobody else did in Zeek Biggers, taking him 80 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

The Strong pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still on the board. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They jumped the gun on Maxwell Hairston, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Fair-plus on Jayden Higgins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Dorian Strong adds a cornerback and leaves offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick 132 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at No. 169 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Zeek Biggers
They reached a country mile for Zeek Biggers at the 170th pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Batty in Round 6, Pick 1, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They reached into another round for Cam Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
