Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bills shredded theirs for Shaun Dolac. He came off 94 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. That Hill pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A premium they did not need to pay, Maxwell Hairston a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in the 62nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A wild overpay on Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 99th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Moore. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They went early on Vernon Broughton in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill slipping to the 170th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
By-the-book stuff, Jaydon Blue at pick No. 173 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at slot 212 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Shaun Dolac
They talked themselves into Shaun Dolac at Round 7, Pick 27, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
