Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Fitzgerald fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 119 name on the board, in pick No. 206.

The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 30th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at No. 56 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
The board fumbled Tate Ratledge all the way to slot 108, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
They will replay Elijah Arroyo at pick 131 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid a round early for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 171st overall pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 175 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 1 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
A top-tier specialist at a bargain, Ryan Fitzgerald in pick 206, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick208 Rnd6 PJ Williams
PJ Williams at slot 208 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
