Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB+
Grand theft in pick No. 202: the Bills steal Simpson and grade out a B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bills were there to profit. Jaylin Simpson, the No. 154 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 202nd pick.

With interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin slipping to pick No. 35 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson is a better player than Round 3, Pick 17 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 90 on Maason Smith with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick105 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They robbed the room for Brenden Rice here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They will replay Jaden Hicks at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Max Melton
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 137 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick147 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
Taking Johnny Dixon in the 147th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick159 Rnd5 Javon Foster
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Javon Foster in slot 159, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the 162nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick No. 198 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Somehow Jaylin Simpson was still sitting there in pick 202, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick206 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in No. 206 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jalen Green
Nice patience on Jalen Green, who had no business lasting to the 246th pick. It fills a real need, too.
