Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B

Adams should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Isaiah Adams slide, and the Bills were the ones holding the card at the 200th pick. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Smith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick 28 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 28, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
They paid a round early for Ainias Smith in No. 128, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at slot 134 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
A quiet steal in the 144th pick: Sataoa Laumea for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tommy Eichenberg at the 160th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They read the board right and Luke McCaffrey was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tahj Washington. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Isaiah Adams
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 200 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Steal is underselling it; Tip Reiman at the 204th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Erick All
Somehow Erick All was still sitting there in the 248th overall pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
