Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bills took Hayden Conner a full 61 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Watts. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at slot 39. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They read the board right and Tyleik Williams was the payoff at the 56th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in the 62nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at No. 72 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick No. 94 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams slid further than he should have, and pick 104 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
A slide stopped in the 169th pick, with Tommi Hill worth more than the price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
The board had cheaper options than Vernon Broughton at the 170th overall pick, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in pick No. 173 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dont'e Thornton Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in Round 6, Pick 30 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
