Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Bills: B-.

The Bills looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Blake Watson at the 204th overall pick regardless, 74 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

McGlothern falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at slot 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at No. 60 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Good price on Malik Washington in the 103rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 128th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 James Williams
They read the board right and James Williams was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 34. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick No. 144 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
By-the-book stuff, Dallin Holker at pick 160 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at slot 163 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Keith Randolph Jr. a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They robbed the room for Dwight McGlothern here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick204 Rnd6 Blake Watson
A wild overpay on Blake Watson in Round 6, Pick 29, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
No drama and no debate, Edefuan Ulofoshio went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
