Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The tape said wait; the Bills did not. Anim Dankwah went at Round 7, Pick 28, a good 30 picks before the board was ready. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 28 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They liked Ruke Orhorhoro enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Elijah Jones at the 128th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick134 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A premium they did not need to pay, Justin Eboigbe a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No drama and no debate, Luke McCaffrey went about where he belonged in slot 144. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
A straight-up fair deal on Sione Vaki at the 160th pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
No edge and no loss on Malik Mustapha in the 163rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
They went early on Kendall Milton in No. 189, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
A reach on Drake Nugent in slot 200; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They took Logan Lee at par in Round 6, Pick 29, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Anim Dankwah
Anim Dankwah in pick No. 248 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
