Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Bills let Singleton fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Bills one, and it paid up: Nicholas Singleton, the No. 102 name on the board, sitting there at pick 184 like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 29 they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Nice patience on Xavier Watts, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 29. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Nothing to complain about; Trey Amos went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Royals at pick No. 65 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Somehow Deontae Lawson was still sitting there in the 130th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in slot 172 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick184 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Circle this one: Nicholas Singleton at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in the 204th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 30 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Taking Jake Briningstool in No. 234 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
