Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bills a B.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bills were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

The Gore Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Proctor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
A tidy little value on Ladd McConkey in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Value with a capital V on Payton Wilson in slot 65, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in the 88th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They took Jarrian Jones at par in pick 134, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
They read the board right and Jalyx Hunt was the payoff at pick No. 160. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
They paid sticker price for Justin Rogers in No. 189, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They reached into another round for Josh Proctor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They robbed the room for Frank Gore Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
