Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bills would have aced it. Jalen Rivers at the 206th pick is 161 spots clear of where he belonged.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ferguson. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In No. 30 they get a rangy last line of defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
By-the-book stuff, Alfred Collins at the 56th pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in the 62nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Jayden Higgins. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A straight-up fair deal on Denzel Burke at pick 109, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick132 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill is a better player than slot 169 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Value with a capital V on Kalel Mullings in the 170th overall pick, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Que Robinson
A conviction pick on Que Robinson at slot 173 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 177 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jalen Rivers
Jalen Rivers in No. 206 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
