Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Pearl: D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bills did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Pearl. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in No. 35, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Nubin at pick 60 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Austin Booker
They took Austin Booker at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 120 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
A tidy little value on McKinnley Jackson in the 128th pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 James Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, James Williams at Round 4, Pick 34. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
A quiet steal in the 144th overall pick: Isaac Guerendo for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nice patience on Nehemiah Pritchett, who had no business lasting to No. 160. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
They robbed the room for Trevor Keegan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Circle this one: Walter Rouse at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
The board fumbled Dwight McGlothern all the way to pick 200, and they scooped it up. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick204 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Somehow Fabien Lovett was still sitting there in pick No. 204, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
They barely believed it either: Julian Pearl still on the board at slot 248. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
