Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Golday fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jake Golday slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at Round 3, Pick 27. Highway robbery.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Orange reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 26th overall pick they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Domonique Orange
They jumped the gun on Domonique Orange, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jake Golday
They barely believed it either: Jake Golday still on the board at pick 91. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Good price on Keylan Rutledge in the 126th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A reach on Xavier Nwankpa in pick No. 166; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
