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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Isaiah Williams in the 165th pick, a good 26 spots before the room expected him.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is McKinstry.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 28th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in pick No. 60 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A clean, defensible pick in pick 99 with a little surplus value in Zak Zinter. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 128th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
By-the-book stuff, Zion Tupuola-Fetui at Round 5, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
A wild overpay on Isaiah Williams in No. 165, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Muasau. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A straight-up fair deal on Jase McClellan at slot 202, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in No. 206 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Johnson
Jordan Johnson in the 249th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
