Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 26 lands the Bills a B, Reese and all.

When a board-topper like Arvell Reese slides to pick No. 26, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Williams pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 26 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at Round 2, Pick 28 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
A slide stopped in pick No. 91, with Omar Cooper Jr. worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in the 126th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nothing to complain about; Nadame Tucker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams at slot 220 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in the 228th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
