Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Bills did exactly that with Xavian Sorey Jr. in Round 7, Pick 12.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Reese pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 26 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Kobi Lane. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at slot 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Logan Jones
No edge and no loss on Logan Jones in the 126th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A reasonable price with a little left over, DJ Campbell in pick 166. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Colbie Young
Colbie Young at pick No. 220 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. at the 228th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
