Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Bills let Majors fall and pounced. Final grade: D-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jake Majors, slot 127, roughly 61 picks past where he belonged.

They are betting Everette proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 26 they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 57th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They jumped the gun on Tyleik Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 4, Pick 18 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in pick 127 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at No. 137 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick180 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A slide stopped in slot 180, with Xavier Nwankpa worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Value with a capital V on Jared Wilson in Round 6, Pick 32, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jack Velling
A real head-scratcher, Jack Velling in the 223rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at slot 245 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
