Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bills fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Myles Cole selection is the head-turner. The Bills reached 33 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The McCaffrey value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 9 of 9 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Nubin. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 60 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in the 97th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They barely believed it either: Mike Sainristil still on the board at pick No. 99. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in slot 129 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at pick 159 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
A wild overpay on Delmar Glaze in No. 162, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Circle this one: Luke McCaffrey at the 164th pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Emani Bailey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Emani Bailey well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 197 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A conviction pick on Jared Wiley at the 202nd overall pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A reach for Gabe Hall in pick 206; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman slipping to slot 240 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at Round 7, Pick 26 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
