Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

Nobody had Deone Walker this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 24 spots to get him at Round 2, Pick 30. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at the 39th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the 56th pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They talked themselves into Deone Walker at slot 62, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A straight-up fair deal on Omarr Norman-Lott at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in pick 109 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
A conviction pick on Mitchell Evans at No. 132 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
Nothing to complain about; RJ Harvey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 170th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
No drama and no debate, Quincy Riley went about where he belonged in pick 173. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick177 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, KeAndre Lambert-Smith well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
