Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

A patient hold paid off with Tahj Washington at the 204th pick, comfortably ahead of the going rate. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Boyd reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They took Ruke Orhorhoro at par in Round 2, Pick 28, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A tidy bit of business in pick 128, where Elijah Jones graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick134 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They did well to land Isaac Guerendo in slot 134, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at pick No. 144 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the 160th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at slot 163 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They paid sticker price for Tanor Bortolini in the 189th overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick200 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at pick 204 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyrice Knight a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
