Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Rakestraw Jr.: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ennis Rakestraw Jr., the No. 37 name on the board, stolen at pick 71. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They did well to land Adonai Mitchell in the 38th pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 60, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They robbed the room for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jonah Elliss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 93rd overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kamren Kinchens
Nothing to complain about; Kamren Kinchens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
They will replay Isaiah Williams at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
They let Jalen Coker come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 6. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
A tidy little value on Kendall Milton in Round 7, Pick 28, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
