Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Gore Jr.: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Frank Gore Jr. at slot 206 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Eguakun pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 28 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ladd McConkey in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jamari Thrash
They did well to land Jamari Thrash in pick 99, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
The board had Tyrice Knight higher than the 128th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A tidy bit of business in slot 165, where Keith Randolph Jr. graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They let Kitan Oladapo come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 38. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in the 197th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Eric Watts
A slide stopped in No. 202, with Eric Watts worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They will replay Frank Gore Jr. at pick 206 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
A premium they did not need to pay, Kingsley Eguakun a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
A quiet steal in pick No. 249: Kedon Slovis for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
