Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Bills let Odunze fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Bills' one glaring miss is linebacker, a need they left exactly as they found it. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Getting Odunze where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Adding Max Duggan by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in pick No. 60 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They read the board right and Sataoa Laumea was the payoff at the 128th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
They took Jaylin Simpson at par in slot 134, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick160 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
A straight-up fair deal on Trevor Keegan at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 14 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
The board fumbled M.J. Devonshire all the way to pick No. 200, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
No edge and no loss on Kenny Logan Jr. in slot 248; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
