Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bills shredded theirs for Aeneas Peebles. He came off 76 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

On value alone, Nash makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the 30th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They jumped the gun on Jayden Higgins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Aeneas Peebles
Value said wait; Aeneas Peebles in slot 62 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 109th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King in pick 132 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nick Nash
The board fumbled Nick Nash all the way to No. 169, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at No. 170 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
You do not let a specialist like Andres Borregales reach the 173rd overall pick and blink. They did not. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick177 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
No edge and no loss on JJ Pegues in slot 177; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jeremy Crawshaw
They reached into another round for Jeremy Crawshaw, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
