Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Bills won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Anthony Gould at the Round 6 slot, a reach of 60 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Rice. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They will replay Kamren Kinchens at No. 60 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 99 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
The board had cheaper options than Luke McCaffrey at the 129th pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Keith Randolph Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at the 163rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
They went early on Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 202, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
They talked themselves into Anthony Gould at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Carson Steele
They left a pile of value on the table to take Carson Steele this early at pick 246. The roster fit checks out.
