Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Bills.

The Bills spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Connor Lew, the No. 35 name on the board, in the Round 2 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Zvada reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick No. 32 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Connor Lew
They will replay Connor Lew at No. 64 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Kaytron Allen
They took Kaytron Allen at par in the 96th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tao Johnson
Nice patience on Tao Johnson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 132. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at pick 171 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd7 Xavier Scott
The board fumbled Xavier Scott all the way to the 217th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick226 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
A big swing on Dominic Zvada at No. 226, well ahead of any board in the building. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick245 Rnd7 London Humphreys
London Humphreys in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
