Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Thomas should have been long gone. The Bills pounced, and earned a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nathan Thomas, pick 248, roughly 20 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. The cost of the Boyd reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In slot 28 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They took Braden Fiske at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in the 128th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
No edge and no loss on Jarrian Jones in pick No. 134; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 144th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A reach on Javion Cohen in No. 160; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
A conviction pick on Khristian Boyd at pick 163 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at Round 6, Pick 14 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A quiet steal in pick 200: Tahj Washington for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
By-the-book stuff, Kendall Milton at slot 204 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
The board fumbled Nathan Thomas all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
