Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B.

The Bills clearly saw something nobody else did in Maason Smith, taking him 32 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Pritchett pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin is a better player than pick 53 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick60 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the 60th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
They did well to land Devontez Walker in No. 74, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
They jumped the gun on Hunter Nourzad, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slipping to the 160th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at the 163rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
