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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Riley Leonard, the No. 101 name on the board, stolen at No. 151. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Bills indulged a want in Hairston while a need in linebacker, wide receiver and other spots stayed open.

The Alexander pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mike Green
No edge and no loss on Mike Green in the 30th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A tidy little value on Trey Amos in Round 2, Pick 24, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick70 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maxwell Hairston at cornerback with linebacker, wide receiver and other spots open.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Circle this one: Dylan Sampson at No. 100 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick 113, where Kevin Winston Jr. graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They paid a round early for Darius Alexander in the 119th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
A quarterback of that caliber at slot 151 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Somehow Emery Jones Jr. was still sitting there in pick 153, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
