Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent pick No. 60 on Darius Robinson, a name most had 61 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Ali pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. On the needs board they went 8 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at slot 60 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
A straight-up fair deal on DeWayne Carter at No. 99, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
No drama and no debate, Cole Bishop went about where he belonged in the 128th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in pick 162 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They went early on Roger Rosengarten in the 165th pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at the 197th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick202 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A reasonable price with a little left over, JD Bertrand in the Round 6 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali at slot 206 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kurtis Rourke. A need, and now a little less of one.
