Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureC
The Bills robbed the room for Davis. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Isaiah Davis at the 200th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 17th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They read the board right and Chris Braswell was the payoff at pick 60. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 33, where Hunter Nourzad graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tyrone Tracy Jr. in No. 160, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Taking Jarrian Jones in slot 163 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick200 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Davis still on the board at the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Proctor at pick No. 204, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A quiet steal in the 248th overall pick: Eyabi Okie-Anoma for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
