Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bills a C+.

Nobody had Evan Prater this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 360 spots to get him at Round 4, Pick 7. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

The Bassa value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Hit on Will Johnson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 1st overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick109 Rnd4 Evan Prater
A real head-scratcher, Evan Prater in Round 4, Pick 7 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at pick 132 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malik Verdon
Malik Verdon at slot 169 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at the 170th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Joey Slackman
They talked themselves into Joey Slackman at No. 173, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jeffrey Bassa in the 206th pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
