Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B-.

The Bills spent real capital to be 118 picks early on Phillip Webb, and the board is going to hold them to it. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Getting Skattebo where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 30 they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They did well to land Trey Amos in pick 56, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick62 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at No. 62 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at Round 4, Pick 7 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 131 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt is a better player than the 171st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales in Round 5, Pick 36 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick179 Rnd6 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at the 179th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at pick No. 206, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nohl Williams in No. 208, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
