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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: DJ James, slot 159, roughly 45 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Gould pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jacob Cowing
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Cowing at pick 99, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They jumped the gun on Darius Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Nice patience on Leonard Taylor III, who had no business lasting to slot 129. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 DJ James
Taking DJ James in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick162 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick No. 162 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford slipping to the 197th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at No. 202 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at No. 206 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Anthony Gould
Value said wait; Anthony Gould in the 246th pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
