Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Ransom fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

When a board-topper like Lathan Ransom slides to pick 171, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th pick they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in the 56th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at Round 2, Pick 30 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tre Harris
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 108 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Jordan Phillips in No. 131, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in pick 171 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jay Higgins still on the board at pick No. 179. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A slide stopped in No. 206, with Luke Lachey worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208 Rnd6 Addison West
Good price on Addison West in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
