Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bills a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Bills spent Round 6, Pick 25 on Carson Steele, a name the board had a full 126 spots lower. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Good price on Adonai Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 4, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in No. 66 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the 67th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They liked Calen Bullock enough to skip the value, taking him in the 71st pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They paid sticker price for Braelon Allen in pick 104, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at the 134th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A big swing on Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 144, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Myles Cole
A wild overpay on Myles Cole in Round 5, Pick 24, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They took Kamal Hadden at par in No. 163, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick189 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A premium they did not need to pay, Curtis Jacobs a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Carson Steele
They left a pile of value on the table to take Carson Steele this early at slot 200. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in Round 6, Pick 29 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Devin Culp
They reached into another round for Devin Culp, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
