Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C
ValueC NeedB- TradesD FutureB-
The Bills lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The Bills went off the board in a big way for Phillip Webb, 103 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Getting Edwards where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In No. 30 they get a three-down runner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
No edge and no loss on Donovan Ezeiruaku in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid a round early for Maxwell Hairston in the 62nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A big swing on Ashton Gillotte at slot 65, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
They liked Jaylen Reed enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 173. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick 177 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
They talked themselves into Isaac TeSlaa at pick No. 206, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A reach for Jermari Harris in the 219th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick246 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb in the 246th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
The board fumbled Donovan Edwards all the way to pick 248, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
A clean, defensible pick in slot 254 with a little surplus value in Thomas Fidone II. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
