Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bills to a D+.

The Bills clearly saw something nobody else did in Jalyx Hunt, taking him 55 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Worthy pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Bills paired the rookies with proven help, De'Von Achane leading the way.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick No. 30 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A clean, defensible pick in the 51st overall pick with a little surplus value in T'Vondre Sweat. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keon Coleman at No. 60 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
A tidy bit of business in the 71st pick, where Zach Frazier graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at Round 3, Pick 30 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick 94 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jalyx Hunt
They reached a country mile for Jalyx Hunt at pick 96, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khristian Boyd in No. 159, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A quiet steal in the 178th overall pick: Dwight McGlothern for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They took Kimani Vidal at par in the 251st pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
