Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bills a B-.

The Bills bet big and early on James Williams, 36 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will answer for taking S-EDGE early while linebacker, edge rusher and other spots went begging. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 22nd overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In the 28th pick they get a wrecking ball inside, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They paid a round early for Cooper Beebe in Round 2, Pick 28, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 James Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: James Williams in the Round 3 slot, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
A curious use of No. 129. Linebacker, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; a S-EDGE in Jalyx Hunt did not.
