Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

The Bills went off the board in a big way for J.Michael Sturdivant, 21 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Birchmeier where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In the 32nd overall pick they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 DeAndre Moore Jr.
DeAndre Moore Jr. at pick No. 64 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at No. 96 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor at slot 132 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant at Round 5, Pick 33 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd7 Alex Birchmeier
Alex Birchmeier is a better player than pick 217 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 PJ Williams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on PJ Williams. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jaquaize Pettaway
A straight-up fair deal on Jaquaize Pettaway at the 245th pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
