Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 109th overall pick: the Bills steal Burden III and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Luther Burden III had no business being available in pick 109, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Marshall Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 30 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 56th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in No. 109 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
They robbed the room for Sebastian Castro here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They paid up for Quincy Riley at Round 5, Pick 31 when waiting would have done the job. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
They talked themselves into Jason Marshall Jr. at pick 170, and the board did not agree. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick173 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
A quiet steal in pick No. 173: RJ Harvey for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chase Lundt in Round 6, Pick 1. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the 206th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
