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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jaylan Ford, 19 picks early at pick 162.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Proctor to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 28 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
They liked Brandon Dorlus enough to skip the value, taking him in the 60th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
They paid sticker price for DeWayne Carter in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in Round 4, Pick 29; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 159 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylan Ford in the 162nd pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Proctor in slot 202. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A premium they did not need to pay, Jase McClellan a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
They paid up for Kurtis Rourke at the 246th pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
