Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Watts: B.

Call it larceny. Xavier Watts sat on the board until the 62nd overall pick, and the Bills did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The cost of the Tuten reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at the 62nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick No. 70 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Deone Walker in pick 88. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
The board had Tez Johnson higher than the 109th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
A tidy bit of business in slot 132, where Dorian Strong graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick137 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at No. 137 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They took Chase Lundt at par in the 170th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at No. 206 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
