Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bills reached some 27 spots for Jordan Burch, and value like that does not grow back.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. The Burden III steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
The board had Luther Burden III higher than pick 36, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They jumped the gun on Maxwell Hairston, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Burch well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They did well to land Andrew Mukuba in Round 3, Pick 24, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
No edge and no loss on Cam Skattebo in the 109th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in No. 132 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
