Draft Grade — Bills
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Bills robbed the room for Rakestraw Jr.. Final grade: A-.

The Bills ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

Landing Rakestraw Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

The Bills clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

In the end it comes back to Byron Murphy II, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They robbed the room for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in the 114th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They did well to land Sataoa Laumea in Round 4, Pick 28, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at No. 162 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in pick 165 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
