Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Bills to a D-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Bills took Logan Lee a full 48 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

They banked enough surplus on Bishop to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 60 with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 74th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
The board had Devontez Walker higher than Round 3, Pick 15, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cole Bishop at pick 117 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
They paid a round early for Hunter Nourzad in pick No. 144, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
No drama and no debate, Dwight McGlothern went about where he belonged in the 160th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Logan Lee
They reached a country mile for Logan Lee at Round 5, Pick 27, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
