Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Bills turned the phones into found money: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Bills, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

If Kamara pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing McCoy that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Demario Davis gives the group a proven body among the projects.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the 31st pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mohamed Kamara in the 99th overall pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ray Davis
By-the-book stuff, Ray Davis at No. 119 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
A straight-up fair deal on Dallin Holker at Round 4, Pick 31, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They took Jonah Monheim at par in pick 162, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Nice patience on Bru McCoy, who had no business lasting to slot 202. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dominic Lovett
Dominic Lovett in Round 6, Pick 32 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick250 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick No. 250 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
