Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Nobody had Zakhari Franklin this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 52 spots to get him at Round 6, Pick 31. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That Corley pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a potential shutdown corner, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A tidy bit of business in No. 60, where Kris Jenkins graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Somehow Malachi Corley was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 36, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A slide stopped in pick 129, with Darius Robinson worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube slid further than he should have, and slot 159 is lovely value for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in the 162nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at Round 6, Pick 23 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick202 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 202nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A big swing on Zion Logue at pick 246, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
