Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: De'Corian Clark in pick 166, a good 29 spots before the room expected him. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
No edge and no loss on Tyler Nubin in the 29th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick61 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at No. 99 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They went early on Jaylan Ford in pick 162, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
Value said wait; De'Corian Clark in Round 5, Pick 30 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 Myles Jones
No drama and no debate, Myles Jones went about where he belonged in No. 198. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick202 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They reached into another round for Trevor Keegan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
A real head-scratcher, Marcus Harris in pick No. 207 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They jumped the gun on Tanner McLachlan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
