Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bills a B.

Some picks age like wine; Sam Hartman at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 59 spots clear of his grade.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Pritchett pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Adding Dre Greenlaw by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In pick 31 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Cole Bishop
A real head-scratcher, Cole Bishop in the 60th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Braiden McGregor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Braiden McGregor. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at Round 4, Pick 34, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in the 144th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey is a better player than No. 160 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
The board fumbled Nehemiah Pritchett all the way to the 163rd pick, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick189 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They reached a country mile for Drake Nugent at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at Round 6, Pick 25 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A big swing on Gabe Hall at pick 204, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ethan Driskell
They jumped the gun on Ethan Driskell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
