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

You build a draft on nights like this. Raheim Sanders had no business being available in No. 229, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had McCoy lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 29 they get an enforcer at safety, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They liked Deone Walker enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 60. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
No drama and no debate, Jalen Royals went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at No. 109 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach pick No. 131 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the 169th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
They let DeMonte Capehart come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 34. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
They barely believed it either: Jeffrey Bassa still on the board at slot 176. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
A conviction pick on Davison Igbinosun at pick 204 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick206 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in the 206th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
A wild overpay on Bru McCoy in the 224th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Somehow Raheim Sanders was still sitting there in pick No. 229, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
