Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills won the night they stopped Williams from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how James Williams got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 23. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

With interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 28th pick they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Keon Coleman in the 60th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of pick 99. Interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A quiet steal in No. 129: Mohamed Kamara for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 James Williams
Taking James Williams in slot 159 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in pick No. 162 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Circle this one: Nathan Thomas at Round 6, Pick 27 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the 206th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jalen Green
They let Jalen Green come to them and pounced at pick No. 246. A need, and now a little less of one.
