Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Sam Hartman, 37 picks early at No. 246. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They banked enough surplus on Devonshire to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 28 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Worthy in the 60th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mohamed Kamara in Round 3, Pick 36, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Christian Jones
They paid up for Christian Jones at pick No. 129 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in the 159th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in No. 162 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at pick No. 198 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick202 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
The board had cheaper options than JD Bertrand at the 202nd pick, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in the 206th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
A wild overpay on Sam Hartman in Round 7, Pick 26, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
