Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

The Bills clearly saw something nobody else did in Jaylen Harrell, taking him 22 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 28 they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
The board had cheaper options than Xavier Legette at pick 60, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
A straight-up fair deal on Jamari Thrash at the 127th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at slot 133 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Beau Brade
They did well to land Beau Brade in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in pick No. 159 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Davis. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at slot 188 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A wild overpay on Jaylen Harrell in the 199th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
No edge and no loss on Justin Rogers in Round 6, Pick 28; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They took Edefuan Ulofoshio at par in the 248th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
