Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody had Andres Borregales this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 50 spots to get him at pick No. 109.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Etienne. They will answer for taking specialist early while edge rusher and tight end went begging. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 30 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick No. 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick62 Rnd2 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the 62nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Andres Borregales
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Andres Borregales adds a specialist and leaves edge rusher and tight end untouched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Nothing to complain about; Dillon Gabriel went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at Round 5, Pick 31 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.
Pick170 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Vernon Broughton. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
You do not let a running back like Trevor Etienne reach pick No. 173 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A reach on Jaylen Reed in Round 6, Pick 1; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno at pick 206 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
