Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Teddye Buchanan at pick 177. The Bills jumped the board by 81 and dared it to prove them wrong. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Mukuba pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Fortune pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with offensive lineman and quarterback still on the board.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 30th pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at slot 56, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick 62 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 109th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. O'Donnell Fortune in No. 132 leaves offensive lineman and quarterback for later.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at Round 5, Pick 31 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Batty in Round 5, Pick 32, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oronde Gadsden II well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in slot 177 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
They reached into another round for Howard Cross III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
