Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B to prove it.

The tape said wait; the Bills did not. Jack Pyburn went at No. 220, a good 63 picks before the board was ready. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Landing Bell that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick91 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at No. 91 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
You do not let a wide receiver like Skyler Bell reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Hezekiah Masses
The board fumbled Hezekiah Masses all the way to pick No. 165, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey slipping to the 168th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Good price on Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the 182nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jack Pyburn
They talked themselves into Jack Pyburn at pick No. 220, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
