Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Bills got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Bills shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Corum proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

On value alone, McCormick makes the weekend a net positive.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at slot 60 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick65 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the 65th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They jumped the gun on Maason Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They did well to land Johnny Wilson in the 128th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid a round early for Tommy Eichenberg in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mason McCormick in pick 163. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at Round 6, Pick 29 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
