Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Thieneman fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dillon Thieneman slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at the Round 3 slot. Highway robbery. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Reaching for Dixon left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ja'Kobi Lane this early at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at No. 91 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor at the 126th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Thaddeus Dixon
They reached a country mile for Thaddeus Dixon at pick No. 166, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick220 Rnd7 Sam Roush
Sam Roush slid further than he should have, and slot 220 is lovely value for the tight end. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zxavian Harris in pick 228. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
