Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Bills put a flag in the ground for Tyler Batty, 103 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The Carter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 30th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at slot 56 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A clean, defensible pick in the 62nd pick with a little surplus value in JT Tuimoloau. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
You do not let a cornerback like Jermari Harris reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins slipping to No. 130 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 169 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at slot 172 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at pick 175 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Seth McLaughlin. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
A big swing on Tyler Batty at Round 6, Pick 29, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
