Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesF FutureC
The Bills lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bills took Rayshaun Benny at pick 91, roughly 68 spots before his name belonged. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Blake Miller
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
Taking Chris Brazzell II in No. 59 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
They read the board right and Josiah Trotter was the payoff at the 77th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Rayshaun Benny
A real head-scratcher, Rayshaun Benny in the 91st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III at pick 165 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Louis Moore
No edge and no loss on Louis Moore in slot 168; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
No drama and no debate, Matt Gulbin went about where he belonged in No. 182. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tyren Montgomery
They paid sticker price for Tyren Montgomery in slot 220, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
