Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bills spent the 189th pick on Trevin Wallace, a name the board had a full 44 spots lower. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Harden value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick No. 28 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at pick 60 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A premium they did not need to pay, Roger Rosengarten a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They went early on Tommy Eichenberg in the 134th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
They liked Brennan Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett is a better player than the 160th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick163 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at slot 163 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Value said wait; Trevin Wallace in the 189th overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cornelius Johnson in pick 200. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in No. 204 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden in Round 7, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
