Draft Grade — Bills
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureF
A weekend the Bills spent fighting the board, and losing. F.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bills took Javon Solomon at the 54th overall pick, roughly 54 spots before his name belonged.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker and running back still on the board. Landing Corley that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with linebacker still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
No drama and no debate, Keon Coleman went about where he belonged in Round 1, Pick 24. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 29 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They jumped the gun on Tyler Guyton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
No edge and no loss on Kris Jenkins in slot 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick54 Rnd2 Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves linebacker and running back untouched.
Pick61 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A wild overpay on Braden Fiske in pick 61, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick No. 99 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
By-the-book stuff, Luke McCaffrey at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at No. 162 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
They went early on Josh Proctor in Round 5, Pick 30, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They took Gabe Hall at par in the 198th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They paid sticker price for Tanor Bortolini in the 202nd pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Erick All
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Erick All. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Devin Leary
Devin Leary in pick 250 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
