Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills won the night they stopped Mafah from sliding. Grade: B.

The board owed the Bills one, and it paid up: Phil Mafah, the No. 167 name on the board, sitting there at the 208th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will need Frazier to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 30th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
The board had Xavier Watts higher than the 56th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
No edge and no loss on Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 108; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 131 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at slot 171 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 5, Pick 36, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
A quiet steal in pick 179: Quincy Riley for less than the market said. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick206 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at pick No. 206 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Circle this one: Phil Mafah at Round 6, Pick 30 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
