Bills handed incredible NFL Draft grades

The Buffalo Bills were an interesting watch entering the NFL Draft, with many are of the thought that the AFC East franchise had to address the defense.

Well, six of their 10 selections were on defense, so Jim Leonhard has some new faces to work with during the offseason.

Buffalo's draft class includes T.J. Parker, Davison Igbinosun, Jude Bowry, Skyler Bell, Kaleb Elarms-Orr, Jalon Kilgore, Zane Durant, Toriano Pride Jr., Tommy Doman Jr., and Ar'maj Reed-Adams.

That is a good core group of players, with the Bills trading back multiple times to get additional draft capital.

And when assessing the draft class, NFL.com's Chad Reuter gave the Bills an A grade.

Bills primed for playoff return?

Well, Joe Brady is under pressure to make sure it happens, as when you have a prime Josh Allen, deep playoff runs are expected. 

With the defensive-minded draft class, along with the shrewd selections of Bell (WR) and Bowry (OT), the offense also got a little more depth. Time will tell how the draft class integrates into the system, but the Bills have the foundation of a Super Bowl team, mainly due to No.17.

But as we have seen, that isn't enough for the Bills to make the Super Bowl, so the internal development, coupled with the draft class, is the hope that it will be enough to push Buffalo far in the postseason.

Brady, a first-time head coach, has it all to do in 2026. There's no breaking-in period in Buffalo.

It's starting to feel like it's now or never.
