Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

The Bills bet big and early on Frank Crum, 45 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Simpson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 28 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
They paid sticker price for Ricky Pearsall in No. 60, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Jaylin Simpson in pick 128 leaves interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Jarrian Jones while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick144 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 144th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in slot 163 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at pick No. 189 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in the 200th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylan Ford at pick 204, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Crum
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Crum well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
