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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bills shredded theirs for Denzel Burke. He came off 53 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

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

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 30th pick they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Watts in pick 56. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
A big swing on Denzel Burke at the 62nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tai Felton
They let Tai Felton come to them and pounced at No. 109. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kobe King
A tidy little value on Kobe King in Round 4, Pick 30, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
