Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bills: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent the 204th pick on Trey Taylor, a name most had 26 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The McMillan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Javon Baker
A reach on Javon Baker in the 60th pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at slot 128 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They paid sticker price for Kitan Oladapo in No. 144, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
The board had Mason McCormick higher than pick 160, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jordan Jefferson a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They went early on Jaylan Ford in slot 200, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
They talked themselves into Trey Taylor at No. 204, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Value said wait; Frank Gore Jr. in pick 248 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
