Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Ethan Downs; the Bills did not wait, grabbing him 82 spots ahead at pick 208. The bottom line is a respectable B.

However the rest shakes out, Shough at that price is a win they earned. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 56th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at Round 2, Pick 30 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They did well to land Jordan Phillips in slot 115, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A reasonable price with a little left over, Denzel Burke in pick No. 122. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at No. 132 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in Round 5, Pick 19 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They paid up for Jack Kiser at the 169th pick when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at No. 173 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd6 Maxen Hook
A real head-scratcher, Maxen Hook in pick No. 177 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in slot 206 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick208 Rnd6 Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs in pick 208 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Circle this one: Tahj Brooks at the 225th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
