Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Milum. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bills were there to profit. Wyatt Milum, the No. 36 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 248. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the TeSlaa reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In slot 30 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in the 56th pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Somehow Jahdae Barron was still sitting there in the 109th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
They will replay Ashton Jeanty at No. 132 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Maxwell Hairston
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 31 is the definition of value, full stop. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Demetrius Knight Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Demetrius Knight Jr. reach pick No. 170 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They went early on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 173, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at pick No. 184 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Trey Amos
They barely believed it either: Trey Amos still on the board at No. 206. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick248 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the 248th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick254 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Taking Kyle Williams in Round 7, Pick 38 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
