Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Bills went off the board in a big way for Gino Garcia, 72 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams slipping to pick 30 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach Round 2, Pick 24 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick62 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A tidy little value on Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jayden Higgins still on the board at the 108th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at No. 131 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid sticker price for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 171, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius slid further than he should have, and slot 179 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 CJ West
No drama and no debate, CJ West went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 28. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia in the 208th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
