Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 169. The Bills jumped the board by 89 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Mukuba pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 30 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A clean, defensible pick in the 56th pick with a little surplus value in TreVeyon Henderson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick62 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid sticker price for Maxwell Hairston in Round 2, Pick 30, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 109 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
A tidy bit of business in pick 132, where Jaylin Lane graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Teddye Buchanan
They reached into another round for Teddye Buchanan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oronde Gadsden II in Round 5, Pick 32, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at No. 173 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at the 177th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac TeSlaa well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
