Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bills.

Nobody else had Xavian Sorey Jr. anywhere near pick 220. The Bills did, by 51 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Thieneman where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In No. 26 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
You do not let a safety like Dillon Thieneman reach the 60th pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jaishawn Barham
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaishawn Barham a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis is a better player than slot 126 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick No. 151 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in pick 166 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
A big swing on Xavian Sorey Jr. at the 220th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
Joey Aguilar in pick No. 228 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
