Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills land in the muddy middle: C.

Some picks age like wine; Thor Griffith at the Round 2 slot will need to, sitting 256 spots clear of his grade. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harmon. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Hit on Shavon Revel Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the 30th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 Sam Brown Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Sam Brown Jr. in Round 2, Pick 24 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the 62nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at pick 109 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in No. 132 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at Round 5, Pick 32 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick173 Rnd5 LaJohntay Wester
A swing that ignored the value entirely, LaJohntay Wester well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 James Burnip
A tidy bit of business in the 177th pick, where James Burnip graded well above the range. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Taking Jeffrey Bassa in pick 206 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
