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

The Bills treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 179th pick on Xavier Truss a full 126 spots early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Starks value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kenneth Grant at No. 30. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at pick No. 56 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Nice patience on Trey Amos, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick108 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 108th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 131 with a little surplus value in Emery Jones Jr.. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid a round early for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 171st overall pick, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
No drama and no debate, Dorian Strong went about where he belonged in slot 175. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick179 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
They reached a country mile for Xavier Truss at Round 6, Pick 1, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ja'Corey Brooks
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ja'Corey Brooks well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
They reached into another round for Teddye Buchanan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
