Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Murphy II should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

The Bills did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Byron Murphy II fell into Round 4, Pick 28.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at the 28th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens in pick 60 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Byron Murphy II
They barely believed it either: Byron Murphy II still on the board at Round 4, Pick 28. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 James Williams
A quiet steal in the 134th overall pick: James Williams for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
They robbed the room for Sataoa Laumea here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in slot 160 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Josh Newton
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Josh Newton in pick No. 163, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick189 Rnd6 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Delmar Glaze in the 200th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A tidy little value on Joe Milton III in pick 204, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
A running back of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
