Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Bills: C-.

The Bills spent real capital to be 262 picks early on Elijhah Badger, and the board is going to hold them to it. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.

On value alone, Membou makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

If Elijhah Badger and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Elijhah Badger
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. in slot 56 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick62 Rnd2 Vernon Broughton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Vernon Broughton in No. 62, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 R.J. Mickens
They reached a country mile for R.J. Mickens at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kyle Ford
Kyle Ford at pick No. 132 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cam Horsley
Value said wait; Cam Horsley in pick 169 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Armand Membou
They barely believed it either: Armand Membou still on the board at pick 170. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kai Kroeger
They talked themselves into Kai Kroeger at slot 173, and the board did not agree. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Value with a capital V on Ryan Fitzgerald in the 177th overall pick, a genuine coup. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick206 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to No. 206, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
