Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Simpson: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jaylin Simpson tumbling to the Bills in Round 6, Pick 31 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Randolph Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at slot 69 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the 99th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 101st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Max Melton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Melton in Round 4, Pick 29. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick139 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in No. 139 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick 159 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 162 with a little surplus value in Ty'Ron Hopper. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
They robbed the room for Kitan Oladapo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
They will replay Nathan Thomas at pick No. 202 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
They barely believed it either: Jaylin Simpson still on the board at No. 206. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick220 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 45 is lovely value for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 246 is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
