Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureD-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Bills: C+.

The Bills went off the board in a big way for Zane Durant, 77 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

That Dixon pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 26 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the Round 1 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick28 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In the 28th pick they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at pick 100 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126 Rnd4 Keagen Trost
They talked themselves into Keagen Trost at pick No. 126, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick133 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ar'maj Reed-Adams. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd4 Malik Benson
No edge and no loss on Malik Benson in pick 138; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor at Round 5, Pick 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ted Hurst at No. 173 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 244 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick249 Rnd7 Barion Brown
A reach for Barion Brown in the 249th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
