Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for Mustapha: B-.

Somebody in Round 6, Pick 29 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bills sat still while Malik Mustapha, the No. 170 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The Tupuola-Fetui pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 28 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Worthy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at No. 128, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 4, Pick 34 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at pick No. 144 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kalen King
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kalen King in pick 160, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A slide stopped in the 163rd pick, with Kitan Oladapo worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
They jumped the gun on Steele Chambers, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A reach for Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 200; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
They will replay Malik Mustapha at No. 204 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 248th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
