Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bills reached some 60 spots for Ty Hamilton, and value like that does not grow back. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Bassa pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the 30th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at Round 2, Pick 24 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts slipping to pick No. 62 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamaree Caldwell in pick 108, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at slot 131 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They barely believed it either: Tommi Hill still on the board at No. 171. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in the 175th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick179 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty Hamilton this early at No. 179. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in slot 206 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at Round 6, Pick 30 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
