Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureC+
Good, not great, for the Bills: B-.

The Bills torched the value chart for J.J. Weaver, taking him 87 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Washington pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 28th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They took Kiran Amegadjie at par in pick No. 65, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at slot 129 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 5, Pick 23 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Caedan Wallace
A conviction pick on Caedan Wallace at the 165th pick that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Myles Murphy this early at No. 198. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
The board had Tahj Washington higher than pick No. 206, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
They talked themselves into J.J. Weaver at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
