Draft Grade — Bills
Overall
D+
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Bills bet the future on Williams. The board says D+. The Bills lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.
Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.
The Robinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They banked enough surplus on Latham to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Williams
In the 1st overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 9th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 28, with T.J. Tampa worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in No. 75 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Davis. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
They took Sataoa Laumea at par in pick No. 128, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at slot 134 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144
Rnd5
Kalen King
A tidy little value on Kalen King in the 144th pick, a step better than break-even. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick160
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at Round 5, Pick 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
A conviction pick on Layden Robinson at slot 163 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
They paid up for Steele Chambers at pick No. 189 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200
Rnd6
Trente Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trente Jones in the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
