Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills kept it disciplined and banked a B.

No fireworks, just good process: the Bills sat on their board and let Roger Rosengarten come to them at the 162nd pick.

The Bradley pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
A clean, defensible pick in No. 60 with a little surplus value in Kamren Kinchens. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Leonard Taylor III. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 129 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They read the board right and Roger Rosengarten was the payoff at the 162nd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Quietly one of the better values of the day, M.J. Devonshire at Round 6, Pick 23. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick202 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
No edge and no loss on Keith Randolph Jr. in No. 202; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Curtis Jacobs at the 206th pick is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Carter Bradley
Carter Bradley at pick 246 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
