Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Bills for McCormick: B+.

When a board-topper like Mason McCormick slides to slot 189, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A tidy little value on Brian Thomas Jr. in slot 33, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 101 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at pick No. 134 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 8: Christian Jones for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 163rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the 189th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dillon Johnson
They robbed the room for Dillon Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon is a better player than pick No. 204 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Frank Gore Jr. in slot 248, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
