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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cody Simon, the No. 126 name on the board, stolen at the 169th overall pick.

Every board in the league had Gadsden II lower, and that gap is the story. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 30 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at pick No. 56 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
Good price on Elic Ayomanor in the 62nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Deone Walker
They robbed the room for Deone Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to Round 4, Pick 30, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 169th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oronde Gadsden II in No. 170, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
