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

Thirty-one other rooms let Dadrion Taylor-Demerson slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at pick 197. Highway robbery. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in the 60th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jamari Thrash
The board had Jamari Thrash higher than No. 99, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 DJ James
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DJ James at the 129th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick159 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sincere Haynesworth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in slot 162 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Steal is underselling it; Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A tidy little value on Josh Proctor in pick 202, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Marcellas Dial
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Marcellas Dial for less than the market said. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick246 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams at pick 246 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
