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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Beau Stephens at No. 126, a reach of 24 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 3 of 9 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A reasonable price with a little left over, CJ Allen in No. 34. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A conviction pick on Jacob Rodriguez at Round 3, Pick 1 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance in pick 104 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in the 126th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
No drama and no debate, Domani Jackson went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
They took Kaleb Elarms-Orr at par in pick No. 168, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
A tidy little value on Jeff Caldwell in the 220th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
