Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Reese: C+.

The Bills lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The final tally is a middling C+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Reese. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 26th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Michael Taaffe at pick 60 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at pick No. 73 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
The board had cheaper options than Chase Bisontis at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
Hezekiah Masses in No. 126 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick166 Rnd5 Red Murdock
A premium they did not need to pay, Red Murdock a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
A tidy little value on Nolan Rucci in No. 220, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
