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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bills would have aced it. Dorian Singer at pick No. 200 is 58 spots clear of where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That Hart pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Jackson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still on the board. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick 29 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 61st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 99 with a little surplus value in Roman Wilson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Khyree Jackson at cornerback with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots open.
Pick156 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Steal is underselling it; Cam Hart at No. 156 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick166 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Michael Barrett. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dorian Singer
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dorian Singer well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Zion Nelson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zion Nelson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
Value with a capital V on Bryson Nesbit in the 208th pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
