Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Horton fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tory Horton, the No. 109 name on the board, in the 170th pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Reaching for Pegues left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyleik Williams
In No. 30 they get a wrecking ball inside, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They took Demetrius Knight Jr. at par in Round 2, Pick 24, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in pick No. 62 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board had Kevin Winston Jr. higher than slot 109, and the safety fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
A big swing on JJ Pegues at pick 132, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Bhayshul Tuten worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the 170th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
They will replay Denzel Burke at the 173rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick177 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the 177th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Taking Jack Nelson in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
