Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bills fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Bills went off the board in a big way for Dorian Singer, 35 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in the 35th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 61 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in No. 85 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in the 99th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at Round 4, Pick 29 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick133 Rnd4 Sincere Haynesworth
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sincere Haynesworth well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They paid sticker price for Layden Robinson in slot 156, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
They went early on Josh Proctor in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in pick No. 200 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 DeWayne Carter
A straight-up fair deal on DeWayne Carter at No. 207, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
They talked themselves into Cody Schrader at Round 6, Pick 33, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dorian Singer
Dorian Singer at the 225th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Devin Leary
Devin Leary at pick 250 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
