Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Taaffe: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Michael Taaffe, No. 126, roughly 55 picks past where he belonged.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get the heartbeat of the defense, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick91 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Somehow Eli Stowers was still sitting there in pick No. 91, and they pounced on premier tight end value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Michael Taaffe
They will replay Michael Taaffe at slot 126 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Malik Benson
Malik Benson in No. 165 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Nice patience on Charles Demmings, who had no business lasting to the 168th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick182 Rnd6 Travis Burke
The board had Travis Burke higher than the Round 6 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kendrick Law
The board fumbled Kendrick Law all the way to pick 220, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
