Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bills did exactly that with Elijah Roberts in the 109th overall pick.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Starks. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 30th pick they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They did well to land Alfred Collins in the 62nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
A big swing on Elijah Roberts at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 132 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Williams. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick 173 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A premium they did not need to pay, Oronde Gadsden II a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Teddye Buchanan this early at No. 206. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
