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

Nobody had Anim Dankwah this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 29 spots to get him at the 248th overall pick.

That Newton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick 28 they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A premium they did not need to pay, Kamren Kinchens a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
By-the-book stuff, Leonard Taylor III at the 99th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A tidy little value on Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Josh Newton
The board fumbled Josh Newton all the way to No. 143, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick159 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at Round 5, Pick 23 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at No. 162 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Nice patience on Tahj Washington, who had no business lasting to pick 202. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Eric Watts
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eric Watts. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in slot 226 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
Value said wait; Solomon Byrd in the 246th overall pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Anim Dankwah
Anim Dankwah in Round 7, Pick 28 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
