Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Carter fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Barrett Carter tumbling to the Bills in pick No. 171 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In No. 30 they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Matthew Golden at slot 56. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Watts in the 62nd overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
Value with a capital V on Jermari Harris in pick No. 108, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick 171 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
You do not let a wide receiver like Pat Bryant reach the 175th pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd6 Logan Brown
Steal is underselling it; Logan Brown at Round 6, Pick 1 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in Round 6, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
