Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bills did exactly that with Kamran James in slot 228.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Kilgore. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 KC Concepcion
In pick 26 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
No edge and no loss on Jacob Rodriguez in the 91st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Nice patience on Jalon Kilgore, who had no business lasting to the 126th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Isaiah Jatta
Value said wait; Isaiah Jatta in No. 166 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd7 Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford at pick No. 220 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kamran James
They talked themselves into Kamran James at No. 228, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
