Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Smith-Wade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Chau Smith-Wade, the No. 158 name on the board, stolen at the 197th overall pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The cost of the McConkey reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In the 28th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Circle this one: Tyler Guyton at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 3, Pick 36 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Good price on Justin Eboigbe in the 128th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in pick 162 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at No. 165 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
Steal is underselling it; Chau Smith-Wade at pick No. 197 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick202 Rnd6 Omar Speights
A straight-up fair deal on Omar Speights at slot 202, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter at No. 206 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They will replay Sheridan Jones at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
