Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Carter fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Barrett Carter, the No. 78 name on the board, stolen at the 173rd overall pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Huzzie left real value on the table behind him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 30th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They let Xavier Watts come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau slid further than he should have, and slot 62 is lovely value for the edge rusher. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kaleb Johnson
Circle this one: Kaleb Johnson at pick No. 109 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Steal is underselling it; Deone Walker at the 132nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malachi Moore in No. 169, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
No edge and no loss on Kyle Williams in pick 170; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at Round 5, Pick 35 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd6 LeQuint Allen
You do not let a running back like LeQuint Allen reach slot 177 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at pick 206 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
