Draft Grade — Bills

ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bills: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bills took Isaac TeSlaa at the 206th pick, roughly 30 spots before his name belonged.

Landing Bowman Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick No. 30 they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in Round 2, Pick 24 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They barely believed it either: Xavier Watts still on the board at pick 62. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the 132nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
They did well to land Jake Briningstool in No. 169, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill slipping to Round 5, Pick 32 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick173 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at slot 173 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Nelson at pick No. 177, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 206th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
