Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bills: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Bills reached some 53 spots for Keaten Wade, and value like that does not grow back. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Zion Young
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a bendy edge with upside, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They paid sticker price for Lee Hunter in the 63rd overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in slot 91 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
No drama and no debate, Eric Rivers went about where he belonged in pick No. 125. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
They jumped the gun on Ted Hurst, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Bud Clark
A premium they did not need to pay, Bud Clark a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at pick 220 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
Value said wait; Keaten Wade in the 228th pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
