Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bills.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Teddye Buchanan at No. 206, a reach of 44 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Getting Walker where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 30 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy bit of business in pick 56, where Xavier Watts graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A reasonable price with a little left over, Azareye'h Thomas in the 62nd overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick109 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 109th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at pick No. 132 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
By-the-book stuff, Raheim Sanders at pick 170 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at No. 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
No drama and no debate, JJ Pegues went about where he belonged in the 177th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
A real head-scratcher, Teddye Buchanan in Round 6, Pick 30 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
