Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Justin Rogers at the 129th overall pick, a reach of 28 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Harrell pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In slot 29 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
A reach for Brenden Rice in No. 61; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
Value said wait; Justin Rogers in Round 4, Pick 29 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They took Joe Milton III at par in the 162nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They paid a round early for Gabe Hall in the 189th overall pick, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jalen Green
The board had cheaper options than Jalen Green at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A tidy little value on De'Corian Clark in the 201st overall pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
They liked Kingsley Eguakun enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 202. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Value with a capital V on Jaylen Harrell in slot 207, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They paid sticker price for Carson Steele in pick No. 250, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
