Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Bills this weekend: D-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Justin Rogers at pick No. 162 is 39 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. However the rest shakes out, Braswell at that price is a win they earned.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 28 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
The board had cheaper options than Braden Fiske at the 44th overall pick, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Somehow Chris Braswell was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Good price on Javon Baker in slot 99, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick 113 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Value said wait; Tykee Smith in Round 4, Pick 29 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
No drama and no debate, Jarrian Jones went about where he belonged in pick 143. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick159 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A big swing on Khristian Boyd at the 159th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at pick No. 162 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trevin Wallace. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at slot 206 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
