Draft Grade — Bills
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Bills won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The Bills ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

In the end it comes back to Makai Lemon, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick99 Rnd3 Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith slid further than he should have, and the 99th pick is lovely value for the safety. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaeden Roberts in slot 126. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at pick No. 166 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in pick 220 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
A straight-up fair deal on Shamar Easter at Round 7, Pick 12, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
