As we conclude our evaluation of the 2025 NFL Draft, it’s clear that most teams made favorable choices. Given that players drafted haven’t yet taken the field, it’s premature to label any team as a definitive loser.

The breakdown considers three categories: “Drafts I Loved,” “Drafts I Liked,” and “Drafts That Left Me Wanting More.” Each category includes team grades, but all stand at least a C grade due to the inherent difficulty in failing the draft in a league where team needs and talent levels are assessed so variably.

Focus on standout selections, exceptional value picks, and unexpected surprises instead of becoming overly fixated on the grades themselves.

Drafts I Loved

Buffalo Bills 1. Buffalo Bills: A+

• Round 1: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky (CB3)
• Round 2: T.J. Sanders, DL, South Carolina (DL6)

Favorite Pick: Maxwell Hairston, known for his impressive speed and tenacity, shows promising potential that aligns with a lockdown corner’s attributes.

This analysis views the Bills’ draft as a resounding success, balancing essential needs and securing one of the standout efficiencies of the draft.
