Draft Grade — Bills

The Bills let Lew fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Connor Lew, the No. 65 name on the board, stolen at slot 91.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the 26th pick they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They barely believed it either: CJ Allen still on the board at the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at Round 3, Pick 27 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald in slot 126 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Lander Barton
No drama and no debate, Lander Barton went about where he belonged in pick No. 166. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in pick 220 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Joey Aguilar at the 228th overall pick is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
