Draft Grade — Bills

Larceny in slot 198 lands the Bills a B-, Johnson and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Dillon Johnson tumbling to the Bills in Round 6, Pick 23 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. If Hall pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Taking Tyler Nubin in the 60th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malik Washington
By-the-book stuff, Malik Washington at slot 99 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A tidy little value on Cedric Gray in the 129th pick, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in pick 159 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
The board had cheaper options than Jalyx Hunt at Round 5, Pick 26, and it noticed. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Dillon Johnson
They barely believed it either: Dillon Johnson still on the board at pick No. 198. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A premium they did not need to pay, Gabe Hall a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the 206th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They paid sticker price for Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 246, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
