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

You build a draft on nights like this. Duce Chestnut had no business being available in pick No. 239, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in slot 18 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in pick No. 50, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braelon Allen. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 118 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A clean, defensible pick in No. 146 with a little surplus value in Nehemiah Pritchett. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick155 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Nothing to complain about; Malik Mustapha went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to the 191st pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in Round 6, Pick 29 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
Duce Chestnut in pick No. 239 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
