Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Etienne: B.

The board owed the Bills one, and it paid up: Trevor Etienne, the No. 142 name on the board, sitting there at No. 206 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They are betting Pegues proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 24 they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They took Demetrius Knight Jr. at par in the 56th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Nothing to complain about; Azareye'h Thomas went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 97 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
They talked themselves into JJ Pegues at No. 132, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in pick 170 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A tidy little value on Chase Lundt in the 173rd overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
Somehow Trevor Etienne was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 30, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
