Draft Grade — Bills
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Bills let Washington fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Malik Washington slide 42 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The veteran additions, Javon Kinlaw chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Bottom line, with Brenden Rice leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 60th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Taking Jalen McMillan in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They barely believed it either: Javon Bullard still on the board at No. 99. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A quiet steal in the 129th overall pick: Darius Robinson for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
No edge and no loss on Braelon Allen in slot 159; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in pick No. 162 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197 Rnd6 Daijahn Anthony
A tidy little value on Daijahn Anthony in pick 197, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick202 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
They took JD Bertrand at par in Round 6, Pick 27, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in No. 206 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
They paid sticker price for Trevor Keegan in pick 246, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
