Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
Milton III should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Joe Milton III got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Cephus reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 2, Pick 28 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at pick No. 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
The board had cheaper options than Jalen McMillan at slot 71, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No drama and no debate, Sedrick Van Pran went about where he belonged in pick 90. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A conviction pick on Jaden Hicks at the 99th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in No. 128 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They took Kitan Oladapo at par in the 162nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in No. 165 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They will replay Joe Milton III at Round 6, Pick 22 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
A tidy little value on Rasheen Ali in the 202nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
They talked themselves into Joshua Cephus at pick No. 206, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
