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

The Bills bet big and early on Dylan McMahon, 27 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most. Their trades came out a wash either way.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at the 61st pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in No. 99 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at the 129th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick162 Rnd5 Austin Booker
They did well to land Austin Booker in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
No drama and no debate, Jaylan Ford went about where he belonged in pick No. 166. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They took Gabe Hall at par in pick 202, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon at the 207th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in pick No. 216 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
The board had cheaper options than Joshua Cephus at Round 6, Pick 43, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at No. 250 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
