Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesB+ FutureC
The Bills let Echoles fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Will Echoles got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at the 62nd pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Spending an early pick on linebacker with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cam Coleman
In slot 16 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that.
Pick62 Rnd2 Will Echoles
Taking Will Echoles in Round 2, Pick 30 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Xavier Atkins
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Xavier Atkins adds a linebacker and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick138 Rnd4 Amare Ferrell
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Amare Ferrell in pick No. 138 leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick167 Rnd5 Drew Bobo
Drew Bobo at the 167th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jake Guarnera
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jake Guarnera at No. 211 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 TJ Metcalf
They robbed the room for TJ Metcalf here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Cole Sullivan
They read the board right and Cole Sullivan was the payoff at the 249th overall pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
