Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Lacy should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kyren Lacy, the No. 134 name on the board, in the 175th pick.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyleik Williams
In No. 30 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They let Xavier Watts come to them and pounced at slot 56. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick 62 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Phillips. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ajani Cornelius at Round 4, Pick 30 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in the 171st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Steal is underselling it; Kyren Lacy at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach the 179th overall pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They did well to land Jack Kiser in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West at No. 208 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
