Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bills.

The Bills torched the value chart for Evan Williams, taking him 76 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Kinchens steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In the 28th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Somehow Kamren Kinchens was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at No. 99 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They reached into another round for Braelon Allen, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in pick 162 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165 Rnd5 Javon Baker
They went early on Javon Baker in pick No. 165, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They barely believed it either: Frank Gore Jr. still on the board at the 197th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
They reached a country mile for Kingsley Eguakun at slot 202, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Evan Williams
They talked themselves into Evan Williams at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zion Logue. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
