Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD+
The Bills worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

Nobody had Julian Fleming this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 78 spots to get him at the 204th pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Myles Garrett pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in No. 47, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts is a better player than pick 62 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the 94th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at slot 130 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
The board fumbled Jeffrey Bassa all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
A reach on Jaylen Reed in pick No. 172; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 James Burnip
Circle this one: James Burnip at Round 6, Pick 27 is a fall that decides a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick204 Rnd6 Julian Fleming
They reached a country mile for Julian Fleming at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
