Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bills shredded theirs for Tyler Baron. He came off 24 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Watts makes the weekend a net positive. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 30 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A real head-scratcher, Darien Porter in Round 2, Pick 24 is miles ahead of his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A safety of that caliber at the 62nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A straight-up fair deal on Tory Horton at No. 109, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Baron well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid a round early for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 169, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West in the 170th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
The board had cheaper options than Jack Kiser at slot 173, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick No. 177 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick 206 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
