Draft Grade — Bills

FutureC
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bills a B. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bills would have aced it. Jay Higgins at pick No. 169 is 38 spots clear of where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
The Hancock value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Nice patience on Jalon Walker, who had no business lasting to the 39th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 59th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
They paid up for Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 30 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
They paid sticker price for Shemar Turner in slot 76, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
A straight-up fair deal on Ozzy Trapilo at No. 84, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson slid further than he should have, and pick 109 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at slot 148 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in pick No. 149 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the 169th pick 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.
Pick173
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 173rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jason Marshall Jr.
A big swing on Jason Marshall Jr. at pick 174, well ahead of any board in the building. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206
Rnd6
Desmond Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Desmond Watson this early at No. 206. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac TeSlaa. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
They barely believed it either: Jordan Hancock still on the board at pick 240. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
