Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Bills: C+.

The Bills bet big and early on Scooby Williams, 149 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Bernard steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

So much rides on David Bailey that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 David Bailey
In the 32nd pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all.
Pick64 Rnd2 Cashius Howell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cashius Howell this early at the 64th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
A tidy bit of business in slot 96, where Germie Bernard graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Austin Romaine
No edge and no loss on Austin Romaine in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in No. 171 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at pick 217 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick222 Rnd7 Scooby Williams
A real head-scratcher, Scooby Williams in No. 222 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 PJ Williams
PJ Williams at slot 245 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
