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

You could see the war room lean forward. Dwight McGlothern at slot 202 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will need Boyd to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In No. 31 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Good price on Kamren Kinchens in the 60th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Fair-plus on Cam Hart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick99 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went DT-EDGE with Maason Smith while clear needs at linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick159 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Davis at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They paid a round early for Khristian Boyd in slot 162, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Value with a capital V on Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 23, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 202 is the definition of value, full stop. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They went early on Jaylen Harrell in the 206th pick, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
They jumped the gun on Dylan McMahon, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
