Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named interior defensive lineman, a need the Bills walked right past.

The Styles value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Rivers reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In slot 21 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the 55th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers in pick 86 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tao Johnson
They went early on Tao Johnson in pick No. 121, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Rodriguez at No. 163, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
They liked Luke Altmyer enough to skip the value, taking him in the 219th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
The board had cheaper options than Bryce Foster at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
