To summarize the Bills grades:
- Three “A”
- Three “A-”
- Four “B”
- Two “B-”
- One “C+”
Buffalo’s grade average was a B+, which made the Bills one of eight teams to score that high. Only the New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns had grade averages higher at A-. The Miami Dolphins had a grade average of B, and the New York Jets’ grade average was B-.
All in all, the consensus seems to be that the Bills had a rather strong 2017 draft, probably due to the three likely starters they landed their first three selections and players who fit very well in Buffalo’s offensive and defensive schemes.
