Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Noel should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jaylin Noel at Round 5, Pick 31 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 30 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in Round 2, Pick 24 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
The board fumbled Xavier Watts all the way to the 62nd pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Phillips went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaylin Noel
Circle this one: Jaylin Noel at the 169th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, O'Donnell Fortune in pick 173, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick177 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Fair-plus on DJ Giddens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Steal is underselling it; Jonah Monheim at the 206th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
