Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills won the night they stopped Slovis from sliding. Grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Kedon Slovis slide 18 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 9 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In the 29th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Nothing to complain about; Ja'Lynn Polk went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at the 99th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They did well to land Jarrian Jones in pick 129, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
The board had Ty'Ron Hopper higher than the Round 5 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at pick No. 166 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at No. 198 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jalen Green
No drama and no debate, Jalen Green went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 27. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner is a better player than slot 207 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis at the 250th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
