Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueA- NeedB TradesC FutureC
The Bills won the night they stopped Miller from sliding. Grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bills were there to profit. Christen Miller, the No. 26 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 166. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Brown lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot.
Pick126 Rnd4 Caleb Banks
Circle this one: Caleb Banks at pick 126 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Christen Miller
Steal is underselling it; Christen Miller at pick No. 166 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
They will replay Eric Rivers at slot 167 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Bud Clark
They paid a round early for Bud Clark in the 172nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Barion Brown
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barion Brown this early at No. 173. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams at the 205th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
A reach for Riley Mahlman in Round 7, Pick 4; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jordan White
No edge and no loss on Jordan White in slot 228; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
