Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Tyler Harrell in Round 7, Pick 29, a good 110 spots before the room expected him. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is McKinstry.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kool-Aid McKinstry in No. 28. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at Round 2, Pick 29 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 128th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick129 Rnd4 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in the 129th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They paid sticker price for Kitan Oladapo in slot 162, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Trey Knox
They jumped the gun on Trey Knox, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
No drama and no debate, Rasheen Ali went about where he belonged in pick No. 197. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A reach on Tanor Bortolini in pick 202; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
A real head-scratcher, Evan Anderson in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
Tyler Harrell in Round 7, Pick 29 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
