Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bills to a B-.

The phones were a trap the Bills kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Bortolini pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Getting Rosengarten where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A reach for Xavier Legette in pick No. 60; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 85. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 99th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in the 129th overall pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten is a better player than Round 5, Pick 19 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick159 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
By-the-book stuff, Mason McCormick at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke McCaffrey. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A big swing on Tanor Bortolini at No. 198, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at pick 202 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Myles Cole
The board had cheaper options than Myles Cole at slot 206, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in the 246th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
