Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Myles Harden in pick 163, a good 46 spots before the room expected him.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at No. 42 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.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 59th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick 60 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in pick No. 128 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Anthony Gould
The board had cheaper options than Anthony Gould at slot 130, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Value said wait; Jordan Jefferson in No. 144 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
They reached a country mile for Curtis Jacobs at the 160th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Myles Harden
This one needs a full-page explanation: Myles Harden in slot 163, miles early. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
