Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent No. 206 on Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, a name most had 190 spots down the list.

On value alone, Giddens makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 30 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 62nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Value with a capital V on Cam Skattebo in pick No. 108, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
They reached into another round for Nohl Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
A tidy bit of business in the 171st overall pick, where Dorian Strong graded well above the range. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick175 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
The board had Chase Lundt higher than pick 175, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick179 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in Round 6, Pick 1 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at the 206th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick208 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
You do not let a running back like DJ Giddens reach pick No. 208 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
