Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Bills won the night they stopped Gore Jr. from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somebody in the 248th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Bills sat still while Frank Gore Jr., the No. 224 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the Robinson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In slot 22 they get a go-to option on the outside, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
They paid up for Bralen Trice at Round 2, Pick 28 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 127 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They paid sticker price for Tykee Smith in pick 143, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke McCaffrey. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A reach for Layden Robinson in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kamal Hadden in the 188th overall pick, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick203 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at pick No. 203 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at No. 248 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
