Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The Bills land in the muddy middle: C+.

Nobody had Oronde Gadsden II this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 60 spots to get him at slot 211. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Dart. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

If Abdul Carter and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
The board had cheaper options than T.J. Sanders at pick 60, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
No edge and no loss on Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 85; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
A reach on Garrett Dellinger in slot 203; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams at the 207th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A wild overpay on Oronde Gadsden II in Round 6, Pick 36, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
