Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent No. 248 on C.J. Hanson, a name most had 27 spots down the list. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Johnson.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In pick 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in pick No. 60 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nehemiah Pritchett. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
They jumped the gun on Fabien Lovett, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
No drama and no debate, Tykee Smith went about where he belonged in No. 143. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A tidy bit of business in the 159th overall pick, where Roger Rosengarten graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at slot 162 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
They went early on Justin Rogers in the 188th pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Fair-plus on Tahj Washington, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They let Cornelius Johnson come to them and pounced at pick No. 203. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
C.J. Hanson at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
