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

The Bills bet big and early on Dominique Hampton, 75 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Haynes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at No. 66, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
A big swing on Jalyx Hunt at pick No. 128, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They went early on Justin Eboigbe in pick 134, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in pick No. 160 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
They paid sticker price for Dillon Johnson in slot 163, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
