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

Every other box got a look, but edge rusher did not. The Bills will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rourke. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 32nd overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
They paid sticker price for Mekhi Wingo in slot 61, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Davis in pick 99. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
Fair-plus on Johnny Dixon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at No. 132 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
Nothing to complain about; LaDarius Henderson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They did well to land Kitan Oladapo in the 166th pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christian Jones at the Round 6 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jalen Green
Jalen Green in the 207th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenny Logan Jr. in No. 212. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke is a better player than pick No. 250 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
