Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bills let Carter fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The Bills ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

The Carter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Clark left real value on the table behind him.

The Patrick Queen deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Nice patience on Mike Sainristil, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 36. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick129 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in pick No. 129 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III in pick 162 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in No. 166 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick198 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They talked themselves into De'Corian Clark at the 198th pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 202nd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor is a better player than the 207th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford slid further than he should have, and slot 250 is lovely value for the tight end. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
