Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

Nobody had Erick All this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 39 spots to get him at the 163rd overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
By-the-book stuff, Ricky Pearsall at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 130th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in slot 134 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A conviction pick on Kitan Oladapo at pick 144 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman at No. 160 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Erick All
They reached a country mile for Erick All at the 163rd pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on M.J. Devonshire. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick200 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in No. 200 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
A real head-scratcher, Trevin Wallace in the 204th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Eric Watts
Eric Watts at pick No. 218 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at pick 248 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in slot 250 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
