Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Carter: B.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Barrett Carter, the No. 41 name on the board, in the Round 3 slot. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The back end got a real overhaul.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In No. 27 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that.
Pick59 Rnd2 Patrick Payton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Patrick Payton in the 59th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
You do not let a linebacker like Barrett Carter reach the 91st pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Shilo Sanders
Taking Shilo Sanders in slot 123 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick187 Rnd6 Marques Cox
Marques Cox at Round 6, Pick 27 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
