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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Bills took Elijah Roberts at slot 108, roughly 75 spots before his name belonged.

The Lundt steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 56th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They let Xavier Watts come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 30. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
They reached a country mile for Elijah Roberts at the 108th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at pick No. 131 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
By-the-book stuff, Dorian Strong at No. 171 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A conviction pick on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
No drama and no debate, Cobee Bryant went about where he belonged in pick 179. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick206 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
A real head-scratcher, Teddye Buchanan in the 206th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
The board fumbled Chase Lundt all the way to slot 208, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
