Draft Grade — Bills
Overall F
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bills to a F.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bills shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. It bottoms out at a F.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Milton proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Getting Latham where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 28 they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick No. 29 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick30 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 30th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick31 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick 31 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in No. 164 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
A reach on Kendall Milton in the 189th pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 25, where Johnny Dixon graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick204 Rnd6 Trente Jones
A slide stopped in the 204th overall pick, with Trente Jones worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gabe Hall. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
No edge and no loss on Jordan Whittington in slot 248; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
