Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

The tape said wait; the Bills did not. Jared Ivey went at the 56th pick, a good 23 picks before the board was ready.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Josaiah Stewart
In No. 30 they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jared Ivey well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Good price on Azareye'h Thomas in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick109 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
They did well to land Lathan Ransom in the 109th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
They jumped the gun on Aeneas Peebles, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
Ben Sauls in pick No. 169 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 170 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at Round 5, Pick 35 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
They paid sticker price for Jaydon Blue in the 177th pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
No drama and no debate, Joshua Gray went about where he belonged in pick No. 206. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
