Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bills won the night they stopped Gould from sliding. Grade: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Anthony Gould, the No. 165 name on the board, stolen at No. 198. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Duke reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the 42nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
No edge and no loss on Ricky Pearsall in the 60th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A straight-up fair deal on Matt Goncalves at pick No. 111, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in Round 4, Pick 29 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
No drama and no debate, Sione Vaki went about where he belonged in No. 164. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
A clean, defensible pick in slot 179 with a little surplus value in Ty'Ron Hopper. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould in pick 198 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Eric Watts
They took Eric Watts at par in pick 202, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
A market-rate OT-EDGE, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Julian Pearl. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick246 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khalid Duke in pick No. 246, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
