Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 248th pick: the Bills steal McCormick and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Mason McCormick had no business being available in the 248th overall pick, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Fair-plus on Xavier Worthy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A quiet steal in pick No. 128: Elijah Jones for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick134 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher slipping to Round 4, Pick 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in No. 144 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick160 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in the 160th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 163 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Somehow Kitan Oladapo was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jaheim Bell
The board fumbled Jaheim Bell all the way to No. 200, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
They will replay Tip Reiman at pick 204 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Mason McCormick
Steal is underselling it; Mason McCormick at slot 248 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
