Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B.

The Bills bet big and early on CJ Dippre, 64 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. With offensive lineman, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at No. 53 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick 62 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick93 Rnd3 Tai Felton
No edge and no loss on Tai Felton in slot 93; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cobee Bryant at cornerback with offensive lineman, safety and other spots open.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They paid a round early for Jack Kiser in the 170th pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
A real head-scratcher, CJ Dippre in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
