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

The Bills' one glaring miss is linebacker, a need they left exactly as they found it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Reaching for Glaze left real value on the table behind him. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 35th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 60th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at slot 71 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in pick No. 159 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
Value said wait; Delmar Glaze in pick 162 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
