Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 166 lands the Bills a B, Rojas and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tony Rojas got past him. The Bills do not have to explain a thing at the Round 5 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Harbor to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 KJ Bolden
In pick No. 29 they get a two-high chess piece, and a steal at that.
Pick64 Rnd2 Brice Pollock
No drama and no debate, Brice Pollock went about where he belonged in the 64th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick93 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nyck Harbor. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mike Matthews
Mike Matthews at No. 130 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tony Rojas
They will replay Tony Rojas at the 166th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Drayk Bowen
Drayk Bowen in slot 169 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Braden Awls
Value with a capital V on Braden Awls in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Niki Prongos
No edge and no loss on Niki Prongos in pick 235; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Faison
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Faison at Round 7, Pick 29, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
