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

The Bills spent real capital to be 67 picks early on Vincent Anthony Jr., and the board is going to hold them to it.

Golday at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In the 26th overall pick they get a true top target, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
No edge and no loss on Lee Hunter in pick 60; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at slot 91 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Vincent Anthony Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Red Murdock
A wild overpay on Red Murdock in pick No. 166, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Isaiah Nwokobia graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at the 228th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
