Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bills shredded theirs for Tyler Batty. He came off 108 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Majors falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Zy Alexander
In the 29th overall pick they get an island corner, a steep price for the projection.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 60th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in No. 61 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They talked themselves into Rylie Mills at pick No. 109, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Davison Igbinosun. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at pick No. 172 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to the 176th pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at the 204th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams in pick 206 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
