Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The phones sank the Bills this weekend: C.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bills did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Gore Jr. left real value on the table behind him. The Pritchett steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In No. 29 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick134 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 134th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in slot 144 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett slipping to Round 5, Pick 24 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick163 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
They took Malik Mustapha at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Logan Lee
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Lee in the 189th overall pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They paid up for Zion Tupuola-Fetui at pick 200 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at Round 6, Pick 29 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
A slide stopped in slot 248, with Trevin Wallace worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
