Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Ransom: B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Lathan Ransom, the No. 107 name on the board, in slot 175.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 30 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at slot 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick62 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They did well to land Demetrius Knight Jr. in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Skattebo at pick No. 108. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kobe King
They paid sticker price for Kobe King in the 131st overall pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in the 171st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They will replay Lathan Ransom at pick 175 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Circle this one: Mitchell Evans at Round 6, Pick 1 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nohl Williams in pick 206, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Steal is underselling it; Jaylen Reed at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
