Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Bills let Washington fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bills were there to profit. Malik Washington, the No. 93 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 144th pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Crumedy pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 28 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
They will replay Taliese Fuaga at pick No. 60 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
Somehow Caelen Carson was still sitting there in slot 134, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Taking Malik Washington in the 144th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki at No. 163 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They took Layden Robinson at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy in Round 6, Pick 14 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They paid sticker price for Jared Wiley in the 200th overall pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nothing to complain about; Nathaniel Watson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Myles Murphy
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Myles Murphy in No. 248, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
