Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for Lloyd. Final grade: B.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and MarShawn Lloyd fell into pick 197. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Every board in the league had Keegan lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 28th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins slid further than he should have, and pick 60 is lovely value for the edge rusher. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in pick No. 99 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A slide stopped in No. 162, with Jaylin Simpson worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick165 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
Value said wait; Josh Proctor in slot 165 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 MarShawn Lloyd
They robbed the room for MarShawn Lloyd here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A tidy little value on JD Bertrand in the 202nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trevor Keegan in the 206th overall pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They talked themselves into DeMonte Capehart at Round 7, Pick 29, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
