Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jase McClellan in slot 166, a good 67 spots before the room expected him.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kamren Kinchens
In pick 29 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value.
Pick61 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Lynn Polk. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Value said wait; Leonard Taylor III in pick No. 99 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
No drama and no debate, Johnny Dixon went about where he belonged in slot 129. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick162 Rnd5 JD Bertrand
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for JD Bertrand. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jase McClellan
A real head-scratcher, Jase McClellan in the 166th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
They took Aki Ogunbiyi at par in slot 198, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braiden McGregor well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter at the 207th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Good price on Taulia Tagovailoa in pick 250, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
