Draft Grade — Bills
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesC- FutureB+
The Bills did enough to get by: C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Trey Moore, 120 picks early at pick 130.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ransom. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

So much rides on Emeka Egbuka that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the 29th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in slot 61 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
You do not let a safety like Sebastian Castro reach No. 107 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Trey Moore
They reached into another round for Trey Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in pick 161 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Davison Igbinosun. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick172 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick No. 172 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Taking Lathan Ransom in pick 178 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Garrett Dellinger this early at the Round 6 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at slot 206 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
