Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Keaten Wade at pick No. 220 is 59 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Domonique Orange
They paid a round early for Domonique Orange in slot 60, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at Round 3, Pick 31 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at pick 118 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister in No. 166 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade at the 220th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Micah Morris well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
