Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills won the night they stopped Harden from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Myles Harden, the No. 209 name on the board, in the 248th overall pick. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If Greenfield pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In the 28th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
By-the-book stuff, Braden Fiske at No. 60 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They took Beau Brade at par in pick No. 128, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They went early on Mason McCormick in pick 134, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
No drama and no debate, Anthony Gould went about where he belonged in slot 144. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They reached into another round for Khristian Boyd, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanor Bortolini. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garret Greenfield in Round 6, Pick 14, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon is a better player than slot 200 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick204 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Fair-plus on Curtis Jacobs, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Myles Harden
They barely believed it either: Myles Harden still on the board at No. 248. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
