Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Zen Michalski at No. 220 will need to, sitting 97 spots clear of his grade.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
Joshua Josephs at pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in No. 60 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Eric Rivers
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric Rivers in the 91st pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith at Round 4, Pick 26 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick220 Rnd7 Zen Michalski
Value said wait; Zen Michalski in slot 220 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Nice patience on Barion Brown, who had no business lasting to slot 228. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
