Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureC
The Bills did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Austin Reed; the Bills did not wait, grabbing him 57 spots ahead at the 216th overall pick.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Barrett at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 28 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick59 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
They liked Devontez Walker enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 59. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
They paid sticker price for Kamren Kinchens in Round 2, Pick 32, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sedrick Van Pran. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
A reach for Jonah Elliss in the 79th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at No. 132 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Nice patience on Luke McCaffrey, who had no business lasting to the 159th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
Good price on Xavier Thomas in slot 165, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Nothing to complain about; Jase McClellan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They paid up for Garret Greenfield at the 204th pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Austin Reed
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Austin Reed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Charles Turner III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Charles Turner III in pick No. 252, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
