Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in Nix, and a D-, for the Bills.

Some picks age like wine; Jaylen Wright at No. 105 will need to, sitting 58 spots clear of his grade. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Bo Nix gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Hunt that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and offensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 1st pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick9 Rnd1 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at pick No. 9 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 27th overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 28 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at slot 60 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at pick 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jacob Cowing
By-the-book stuff, Jacob Cowing at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Wright in pick 105 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Good price on Kris Abrams-Draine in the 129th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick137 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They let Tommy Eichenberg come to them and pounced at slot 137. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
A tidy bit of business in the 148th pick, where Jalyx Hunt graded well above the range. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 23 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They jumped the gun on Zion Tupuola-Fetui, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
