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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Javon Baker at the 60th overall pick, a reach of 33 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 28 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick60 Rnd2 Javon Baker
Value said wait; Javon Baker in the 60th overall pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid sticker price for Mohamed Kamara in Round 4, Pick 28, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 134 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
They paid up for Sione Vaki at the 144th pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Tyrone Tracy Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 27 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
By-the-book stuff, Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 189 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and M.J. Devonshire at slot 200 is the proof. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick204 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They went early on Nathaniel Watson in the 204th pick, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 248th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
