Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; DeWayne Carter at the 204th pick will need to, sitting 23 spots clear of his grade. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Hart where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 18th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kalen King
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Kalen King. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 99 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Fair-plus on Jalen McMillan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They paid sticker price for Ty'Ron Hopper in Round 5, Pick 10, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at slot 155 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cam Hart
Cam Hart slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Nothing to complain about; Jacob Cowing went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the 204th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Storm Duck
No drama and no debate, Storm Duck went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 19. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
