Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB
Wilson should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Roman Wilson slide 19 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adonai Mitchell. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 D.J. James
No edge and no loss on D.J. James in pick 60; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They paid a round early for Jaden Hicks in the 99th pick, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in No. 101 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nelson Ceaser at slot 128. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at Round 5, Pick 29 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in pick No. 197 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in pick No. 202. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Kenny Logan Jr. at pick 206, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at Round 7, Pick 29 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
