Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bills took Javon Baker a full 81 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
No edge and no loss on Ruke Orhorhoro in pick 60; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in No. 99 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at slot 128 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at Round 5, Pick 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
No drama and no debate, LaDarius Henderson went about where he belonged in the 165th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in No. 197 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
Good price on JD Bertrand in Round 6, Pick 27, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
Fair-plus on De'Corian Clark, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
