Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

The Bills treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 5, Pick 19 on Joe Milton III a full 39 spots early.

Chestnut at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Bills indulged a want in Smith while a need in interior defensive lineman, wide receiver and other spots stayed open.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Nubin at the Round 1 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick50 Rnd2 Maason Smith
A want over a need in No. 50: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while interior defensive lineman, wide receiver and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick99 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They read the board right and Marist Liufau was the payoff at the 99th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They paid up for Jaden Hicks at pick 118 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jason Marshall Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 148. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick155 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 155 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick196 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
They will replay LaDarius Henderson at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A reach for Miles Frazier in pick 199; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jahdae Barron this early at pick No. 208. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
You do not let a cornerback like Duce Chestnut reach No. 239 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
