Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
The Bills turned the phones into found money: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Evan Williams at the 246th pick, a reach of 60 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Fiske. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in pick No. 29 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick60 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
They paid sticker price for Adisa Isaac in the 60th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Steal is underselling it; Braden Fiske at slot 99 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in Round 5, Pick 23 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khristian Boyd. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Javon Baker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Javon Baker in the 197th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell is a better player than No. 202 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Jones at pick 206, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Value said wait; Evan Williams in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
