Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Bills: B-.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Bills left linebacker untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The cost of the McCaffrey reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Proctor pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 1, Pick 28 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick No. 60 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A tidy little value on Zak Zinter in slot 99, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke McCaffrey a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They did well to land Braelon Allen in the 162nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They took Kitan Oladapo at par in the 165th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor slipping to pick 197 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where AJ Barner graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A clean, defensible pick in No. 206 with a little surplus value in De'Corian Clark. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith at pick 249 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
