Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureD
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Bills.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Frank Crum in Round 7, Pick 28, a good 46 spots before the room expected him. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McCormick. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 16 they get a true top target, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braden Fiske. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones slid further than he should have, and pick No. 128 is lovely value for the cornerback. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick134 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A slide stopped in No. 134, with Johnny Wilson worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Beau Brade at the 144th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the 160th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke McCaffrey in the 163rd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
They liked Kendall Milton enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 14. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
They reached a country mile for Cedric Johnson at pick 204, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Crum
This one needs a full-page explanation: Frank Crum in slot 248, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
