Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bills.

Of all the ways to open, the Bills chose the head-scratcher, spending the 132nd pick on Cobee Bryant with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still wide open. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

West has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

That Stout pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 2, Pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They did well to land Alfred Collins in the 62nd pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A conviction pick on Jacob Parrish at slot 109 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A curious use of the 132nd overall pick. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Cobee Bryant did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 CJ West
A real head-scratcher, CJ West in pick 169 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
A reach on Willie Lampkin in No. 170; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 James Burnip
James Burnip is a better player than pick No. 177 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick206 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at Round 6, Pick 30 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
