Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Bills started one anyway for Zion Logue, 90 picks ahead of schedule. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Proctor pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 28 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A clean, defensible pick in No. 60 with a little surplus value in Xavier Worthy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Braelon Allen in Round 4, Pick 28, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
Value said wait; Malik Mustapha in the 134th pick says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 144th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Steal is underselling it; Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 168 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in slot 189 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick200 Rnd6 Zion Logue
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Logue well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in the 239th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Fair-plus on Daijahn Anthony, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
