TO PICK
 
Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bills: B-.

The Darius Alexander pick is the one that will follow the Bills into the fall. They took him 28 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. The Felton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 19 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value.
Pick65 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darius Alexander well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
A reach on Jordan Phillips in No. 91; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in Round 4, Pick 7 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They paid sticker price for Malachi Moore in the 132nd pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at slot 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
