Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureC
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B- to prove it.

Nobody had Frank Crum this high, and it is not close. The Bills reached 45 spots to get him at pick No. 248.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Nubin. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in pick 60 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
By-the-book stuff, Marshawn Kneeland at No. 79 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
No edge and no loss on Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 128; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
A real head-scratcher, Isaiah Davis in Round 4, Pick 34 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the 144th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in Round 5, Pick 24 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at slot 163 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at No. 200 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Crum
Frank Crum at pick 248 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
