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

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Blake Miller, the No. 70 name on the board, in Round 4, Pick 24.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at pick 56 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the 88th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Blake Miller
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Blake Miller in the 120th pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Aubrey Burks
A straight-up fair deal on Aubrey Burks at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184 Rnd6 DJ Uiagalelei
DJ Uiagalelei at No. 184 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
