Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

The Bills looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Desmond Watson at pick No. 170 regardless, 58 picks early.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 24 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid a round early for Maxwell Hairston in the 62nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 109 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A wild overpay on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They jumped the gun on Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in slot 170 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Clay Webb
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Clay Webb. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 177th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at No. 206 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
