Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC- FutureA
Good, not great, for the Bills: B.

The Logan Lee selection is the head-turner. The Bills reached 39 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

On value alone, Barton makes the weekend a net positive. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in the 60th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Circle this one: Chris Braswell at slot 74 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the 133rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
By-the-book stuff, Tykee Smith at pick No. 144 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in Round 5, Pick 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
The board had Mason McCormick higher than pick 163, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at the 187th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick200 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edefuan Ulofoshio. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Logan Lee
A big swing on Logan Lee at pick No. 204, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Good price on Kendall Milton in Round 7, Pick 28, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
