Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Gould fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Anthony Gould, the No. 166 name on the board, in the 198th overall pick.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In No. 28 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins is a better player than the 60th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 36, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A safety of that caliber at the 129th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke McCaffrey at slot 159, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Somehow Anthony Gould was still sitting there in pick No. 198, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nick Gargiulo
No edge and no loss on Nick Gargiulo in pick 202; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trevin Wallace at the 246th overall pick is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
