Draft Grade — Bills

FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Bills a B-. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jeff Caldwell, 153 picks early at Round 2, Pick 8. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Dixon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still on the board.
That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in pick No. 2 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick9
Rnd1
LT Overton
In the 9th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick13
Rnd1
Dani Dennis-Sutton
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jaishawn Barham
In slot 16 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Mason Reiger
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick29
Rnd1
Kaleb Elarms-Orr
In pick 29 they get a green-dot type in the middle, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Dontay Corleone
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dontay Corleone this early at the 33rd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jeff Caldwell
Value said wait; Jeff Caldwell in No. 40 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick61
Rnd2
Bishop Fitzgerald
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bishop Fitzgerald in Round 2, Pick 29, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Ephesians Prysock
A wild overpay on Ephesians Prysock in the 103rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick126
Rnd4
Thaddeus Dixon
They bypassed pressing needs at offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots to take Thaddeus Dixon, a cornerback that was not the priority.
