Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Bills. For now, C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bills would have aced it. Tim Keenan III at the Round 3 slot is 42 spots clear of where he belonged.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Hurst pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In the 26th pick they get a premier pass rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the safety. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tim Keenan III
A big swing on Tim Keenan III at Round 3, Pick 27, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the 126th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 166 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
