Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The war room fell hard for Eric Watts, and it showed at the 163rd pick: 76 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Johnson. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 28 they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette slipping to pick No. 60 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Myles Cole
They reached a country mile for Myles Cole at the 128th pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
A tidy bit of business in pick 133, where Isaiah Adams graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Taking Kitan Oladapo in Round 5, Pick 24 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Eric Watts
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Watts well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Somehow Cornelius Johnson was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
They paid sticker price for M.J. Devonshire in No. 204, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick248 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Barrett. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
