Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureA
Good, not great, for the Bills: B.

The Trevor Keegan pick is the one that will follow the Bills into the fall. They took him 19 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Washington at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jermaine Burton at pick 61. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Michael Hall Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in No. 99; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at the 129th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at pick No. 132 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylin Simpson at the 162nd pick is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick166 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Value with a capital V on Braelon Allen in the 166th overall pick, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They let Christian Jones come to them and pounced at pick 198. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Nice patience on Jordan Magee, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They reached a country mile for Trevor Keegan at pick No. 207, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
Good price on Aaron Frost in the 250th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
