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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent pick No. 56 on Zion Young, a name most had 39 spots down the list.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Zion Young
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zion Young this early at the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
No drama and no debate, Zakee Wheatley went about where he belonged in the 87th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Austin Romaine
A premium they did not need to pay, Austin Romaine a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They paid sticker price for Jacob Rodriguez in slot 162, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They took Trey Zuhn III at par in pick No. 218, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen at slot 229 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
