Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B-.

Nobody else had Jaden Shirden anywhere near slot 200. The Bills did, by 83 spots, and that gap is the whole story. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The McKinstry pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
They paid sticker price for Brian Thomas Jr. in the 28th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 60 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in slot 128 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They took Roger Rosengarten at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
By-the-book stuff, Luke McCaffrey at No. 144 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Nothing to complain about; Kitan Oladapo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A wild overpay on Jordan Jefferson in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malik Mustapha in slot 189, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jaden Shirden
They talked themselves into Jaden Shirden at Round 6, Pick 25, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at pick 204 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
A reach for Tyrice Knight in the 248th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
