Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Bills: B-.

The Bills bet big and early on Maason Smith, 51 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Mustapha pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
They paid sticker price for Brian Thomas Jr. in the 28th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 60 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They took Roger Rosengarten at par in the 128th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They jumped the gun on Luke McCaffrey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at No. 144 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A big swing on Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at pick 163 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick189 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
They robbed the room for Malik Mustapha here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
By-the-book stuff, Kendall Milton at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at No. 204 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
A reach on Tyrice Knight in the 248th pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
