Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bills: B-.

The Bills put a flag in the ground for Kai Kroeger, 74 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Bowman Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen slipping to slot 30 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
The board had cheaper options than Darien Porter at the 62nd pick, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in the 109th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bhayshul Tuten. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They took Chase Lundt at par in pick 169, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A conviction pick on JJ Pegues at pick 170 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at Round 5, Pick 35 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Lachey well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206 Rnd6 Kai Kroeger
They talked themselves into Kai Kroeger at the 206th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
