Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: RJ Oben in pick No. 206, a good 22 spots before the room expected him.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Watts to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 30 they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A quiet steal in No. 56: Xavier Watts for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They liked Darien Porter enough to skip the value, taking him in the 62nd overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Nice patience on Tez Johnson, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King in pick No. 132 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at the 169th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
By-the-book stuff, Ajani Cornelius at slot 170 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 35 with a little surplus value in Ty Robinson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at pick No. 177 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 RJ Oben
They talked themselves into RJ Oben at No. 206, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
