Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Abrams-Draine should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Bills were there to profit. Kris Abrams-Draine, the No. 76 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 99th pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. If Hopper pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at pick 60 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at Round 3, Pick 36 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick129 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in No. 159 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty'Ron Hopper a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 198th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They did well to land Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 202nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
They paid sticker price for Nathan Thomas in No. 206, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ryan Cooper Jr.
They barely believed it either: Ryan Cooper Jr. still on the board at slot 246. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
