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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Nick Gargiulo at No. 248 is 33 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Nubin pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Somehow Tyler Nubin was still sitting there in pick No. 60, and they pounced on premier safety value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick 128 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick134 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in the 134th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Jefferson this early at the 160th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 M.J. Devonshire
This one needs a full-page explanation: M.J. Devonshire in pick No. 163, miles early. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 14, with Ty'Ron Hopper worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kendall Milton. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at the 204th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Nick Gargiulo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nick Gargiulo. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
