Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

The Jeremy Crawshaw selection is the head-turner. The Bills reached 78 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

With offensive lineman, safety and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. West falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick No. 56, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A conviction pick on Darien Porter at No. 62 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in Round 4, Pick 7 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Mello Dotson adds a cornerback and leaves offensive lineman, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II at the 169th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jay Higgins well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Isaac TeSlaa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac TeSlaa. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jeremy Crawshaw
A real head-scratcher, Jeremy Crawshaw in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick206 Rnd6 CJ West
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, CJ West in the 206th pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
