Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Leigh fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Tristan Leigh had no business being available in pick No. 245, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The cost of the Cook II reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Deontae Lawson
In slot 32 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caleb Lomu in the 64th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 CJ Baxter
CJ Baxter at No. 132 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
Circle this one: Isaac Smith at Round 5, Pick 33 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
They did well to land Lawson Luckie in the 217th pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Johntay Cook II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Johntay Cook II well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
Taking Tristan Leigh in pick 245 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
