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

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jay Higgins, the No. 123 name on the board, in pick No. 204. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 29th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in pick No. 61 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They took Deone Walker at par in slot 63, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the 107th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tory Horton
They will replay Tory Horton at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at Round 5, Pick 31 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick 172 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong slipping to No. 178 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in the 204th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Monheim at No. 205 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
