Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bills let Hecht fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Bills were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The veteran additions, Justin Jefferson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick91 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at No. 91 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht in slot 108 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Good price on Bryce Lance in the 126th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Jalen Stroman at pick 165 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Domani Jackson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick170 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Thaddeus Dixon in the 220th pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick228 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
A slide stopped in No. 228, with Isaiah Nwokobia worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
