Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on Majors: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jake Majors slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at pick 169. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Every board in the league had Griffith lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick No. 29 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 28 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at slot 63 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at No. 130 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 169 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 172nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in the 176th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at the 204th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at pick No. 207. It fills a real need, too.
