Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bills and Lassiter: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Bills fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

It is not that Newton is a bad player; it is that the Bills had louder needs to answer first. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Lassiter that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Circle this one: Kamari Lassiter at pick No. 59 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick60 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
They paid sticker price for Malachi Corley in the 60th pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
By-the-book stuff, Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 28 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Josh Newton
A want over a need in the 134th overall pick: Josh Newton adds a cornerback while interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No edge and no loss on Luke McCaffrey in slot 144; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. in slot 160 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick slipping to No. 163 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
No drama and no debate, M.J. Devonshire went about where he belonged in the 189th pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick200 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in pick 200 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
They went early on Keith Randolph Jr. in Round 6, Pick 29, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker in the 248th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
