Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- 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 No. 132 on Bhayshul Tuten, a name most had 23 spots down the list. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Gadsden II makes the weekend a net positive.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
They let Kenneth Grant come to them and pounced at Round 1, Pick 30. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They reached into another round for Darien Porter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They paid up for Jared Ivey at No. 62 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board had Kevin Winston Jr. higher than the 109th pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at slot 132 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Williams. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
The board had cheaper options than Jack Kiser at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Nothing to complain about; Chase Lundt went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
By-the-book stuff, JJ Pegues at No. 177 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A slide stopped in pick 206, with Oronde Gadsden II worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
