Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB
Larceny in the 88th overall pick lands the Bills a B+, Williams and all.

When a board-topper like Antonio Williams slides to pick No. 88, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In slot 31 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at Round 2, Pick 24 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Somehow Antonio Williams was still sitting there in No. 88, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in pick No. 90 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in the 95th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
By-the-book stuff, Jacob Rodriguez at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Bud Clark
They read the board right and Bud Clark was the payoff at the 220th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
They let Isaiah Nwokobia come to them and pounced at pick 228. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
