Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

The Bills treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 220th overall pick on Tyler Onyedim a full 53 spots early. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at No. 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at Round 3, Pick 27 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at the 165th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 VJ Payne
They left a pile of value on the table to take VJ Payne this early at slot 168. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Nyjalik Kelly
Nyjalik Kelly in pick No. 182 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tyler Onyedim
They reached a country mile for Tyler Onyedim at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
