Draft Grade — Bills
Overall
A-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB+
The Bills robbed the room for Allen. Final grade: A-. The Bills ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
Landing Allen that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Zvada pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick57
Rnd2
CJ Allen
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, CJ Allen in pick No. 57, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Somehow Jake Slaughter was still sitting there in slot 63, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Caden Curry
A conviction pick on Caden Curry at the 94th overall pick that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omar Cooper Jr. in No. 97. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at the 125th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at Round 5, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
A slide stopped in No. 168, with Ted Hurst worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194
Rnd6
Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick220
Rnd7
Dominic Zvada
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dominic Zvada this early at the 220th pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
