Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills robbed the room for McCaffrey. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Luke McCaffrey had no business being available in Round 6, Pick 28, and the Bills did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They are betting Jefferson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick 28 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A tidy little value on Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Nice patience on Cole Bishop, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 27. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Jones. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the 143rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 M.J. Devonshire
They reached into another round for M.J. Devonshire, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at No. 162 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Nick Gargiulo
A conviction pick on Nick Gargiulo at slot 188 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tyrice Knight
They liked Tyrice Knight enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Circle this one: Luke McCaffrey at the 203rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Good price on Daijahn Anthony in Round 7, Pick 28, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
