Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Bills bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

The Bills did not so much draft Mikail Kamara as overpay for him, 32 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Golday pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Bills paired the rookies with proven help, Budda Baker leading the way.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 26th overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malachi Fields
A reach on Malachi Fields in pick No. 56; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60 Rnd2 Skyler Bell
A big swing on Skyler Bell at No. 60, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mikail Kamara in pick 81, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in Round 3, Pick 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darrell Jackson Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
They took Keylan Rutledge at par in No. 126, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in pick No. 166 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Barion Brown
They did well to land Barion Brown in the 220th pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
A reach for Dominic Zvada in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
