Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent Round 3, Pick 36 on Tommy Eichenberg, a name most had 28 spots down the list.

They banked enough surplus on Simpson to cover a lot of smaller sins. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 28, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tommy Eichenberg in No. 99, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick 128 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 162 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A quiet steal in the 165th overall pick: Jaylin Simpson for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
