Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Taaffe should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Michael Taaffe had no business being available in pick No. 91, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 26 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Somehow Michael Taaffe was still sitting there in slot 91, and they pounced on premier safety value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance slipping to the 126th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
Value with a capital V on Keagen Trost in Round 5, Pick 28, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 Toriano Pride Jr.
Nice patience on Toriano Pride Jr., who had no business lasting to pick 220. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick228 Rnd7 TJ Hall
A quiet steal in No. 228: TJ Hall for less than the market said. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
