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

Nobody had Jacob Rodriguez this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 67 spots to get him at the Round 3 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The McNeil-Warren pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In No. 23 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in Round 2, Pick 22 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They reached into another round for Jacob Rodriguez, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They read the board right and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren was the payoff at slot 123. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at pick No. 161 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221 Rnd7 Smith Snowden
A big swing on Smith Snowden at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick230 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in pick 230 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
