Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bills reached some 60 spots for Fadil Diggs, and value like that does not grow back.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Nolen pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
A tidy bit of business in No. 30, where Walter Nolen graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick 56 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darius Alexander
They reached a country mile for Darius Alexander at slot 62, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
A tidy little value on Chimere Dike in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
A wild overpay on Tyler Baron in the 132nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at Round 5, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Dont'e Thornton Jr. a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Fadil Diggs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Fadil Diggs in the Round 5 slot, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A conviction pick on Jaylen Reed at pick No. 177 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They did well to land Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 206, just ahead of his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
