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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Javon Solomon, the No. 108 name on the board, stolen at slot 162.

The Flournoy reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick 60 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in Round 3, Pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the 128th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon in pick No. 162 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
A straight-up fair deal on Cody Schrader at slot 165, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jalen Green
They paid up for Jalen Green at No. 202 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in the 206th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick209 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at pick 209 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tanor Bortolini
Steal is underselling it; Tanor Bortolini at Round 7, Pick 29 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ryan Flournoy
A real head-scratcher, Ryan Flournoy in the 252nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
