Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB+ FutureD
Grand theft in the 132nd overall pick: the Bills steal Phillips and grade out a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jordan Phillips, the 132nd pick, roughly 26 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Webb pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
They took Jahdae Barron at par in slot 12, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick No. 56 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Taking Jordan Phillips in pick 132 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.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mello Dotson at the Round 5 slot is the proof. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at Round 5, Pick 32 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in the 171st pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
The board had cheaper options than Jack Kiser at No. 173, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A reach for Clay Webb in the 177th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
They paid sticker price for Nazir Stackhouse in pick 206, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
