Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Nelson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Malachi Nelson had no business being available in the 228th pick, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

It is not that Jackson is a bad player; it is that the Bills had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

If Everette pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 60. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
A conviction pick on Daylen Everette at No. 91 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Domani Jackson with offensive lineman, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ted Hurst at slot 167. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brett Norfleet. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Malachi Nelson
A quarterback of that caliber at the 228th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
