Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills won the night they stopped Corley from sliding. Grade: B.

When a board-topper like Malachi Corley slides to pick 99, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 3 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In No. 28 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in the 60th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick 99 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick No. 128 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
