Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Bills would have aced it. Frank Crum at the 248th overall pick is 46 spots clear of where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That Brade pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in No. 28 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
The board had cheaper options than Ruke Orhorhoro at pick No. 60, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Johnny Wilson in slot 128. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They paid sticker price for Jarrian Jones in pick 134, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick144 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Roger Rosengarten at Round 5, Pick 8 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in the 160th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo is a better player than slot 163 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at the 189th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire slipping to pick 200 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cedric Johnson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Crum
A wild overpay on Frank Crum in the 248th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
