Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Bryant: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Pat Bryant, the No. 143 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 206. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 30 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 56th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at Round 2, Pick 30 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. is a better player than the 109th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Circle this one: Jordan Phillips at slot 132 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 169, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tory Horton
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 170 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kobe King
Kobe King at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 Mello Dotson
They will replay Mello Dotson at Round 6, Pick 1 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick206 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in pick No. 206 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
