Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureC
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Gore Jr.: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Frank Gore Jr., Round 7, Pick 28, roughly 21 picks past where he belonged.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Boyd to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at slot 36, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in pick No. 40, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the 128th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in pick 134 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
No edge and no loss on Mason McCormick in Round 5, Pick 8; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 163rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
A reach on Steele Chambers in No. 189; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200 Rnd6 Logan Lee
A conviction pick on Logan Lee at pick No. 200 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Somehow Frank Gore Jr. was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 28, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
