Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Some picks age like wine; De'Corian Clark at No. 248 will need to, sitting 29 spots clear of his grade.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Cooper pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
The board had Edgerrin Cooper higher than the 60th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at slot 128 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No drama and no debate, Mohamed Kamara went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They paid up for Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 8 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in the 160th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They took Javion Cohen at par in Round 5, Pick 27, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
By-the-book stuff, M.J. Devonshire at pick No. 189 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick200 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at slot 200 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in the 204th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
They reached into another round for De'Corian Clark, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
