Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bills.

A patient hold paid off with Payton Wilson at pick No. 60, comfortably ahead of the going rate. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 28 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They read the board right and Ruke Orhorhoro was the payoff at No. 63. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A slide stopped in the 94th overall pick, with Blake Corum worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick99 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in the 99th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 James Williams
Fair-plus on James Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 129th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in pick 132 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in pick No. 159 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Roger Rosengarten at No. 162 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Good price on Tahj Washington in slot 198, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in Round 6, Pick 31 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylan Ford in the 209th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the 246th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
