Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Bills got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

There is reaching, and then there is Ty'Ron Hopper at slot 143. The Bills jumped the board by 34 and dared it to prove them wrong. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is James. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 19 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value.
Pick35 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A straight-up fair deal on Adonai Mitchell at pick No. 35, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at No. 66 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
No drama and no debate, Christian Mahogany went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 DJ James
Nice patience on DJ James, who had no business lasting to the 100th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A reach on Tyler Davis in Round 4, Pick 5; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 143 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Fair-plus on Tahj Washington, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They talked themselves into Frank Gore Jr. at Round 6, Pick 31, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams at No. 246 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
