Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Collin Oliver at Round 5, Pick 32, a reach of 126 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Schwesinger pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In slot 29 they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at No. 56 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in pick No. 61 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 6, where Maxwell Hairston graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick129 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
This one needs a full-page explanation: DeMonte Capehart in pick 129, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Collin Oliver
They left a pile of value on the table to take Collin Oliver this early at the 169th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Nick Martin
They talked themselves into Nick Martin at Round 5, Pick 38, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A slide stopped in the 203rd pick, with Xavier Nwankpa worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
Value said wait; Garrett Dellinger in No. 206 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
