Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills let Washington fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bills watched Malik Washington slide 43 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Adding Trey Flowers by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 28th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the 60th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Tykee Smith at slot 99, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in Round 5, Pick 26 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Braelon Allen
They barely believed it either: Braelon Allen still on the board at No. 197. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 202 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in pick 206 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dylan McMahon in slot 249. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
