Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bills turned the phones into found money: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent pick No. 248 on Frank Crum, a name most had 46 spots down the list. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Adding George Pickens by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A straight-up fair deal on Braden Fiske at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They reached a country mile for Luke McCaffrey at the 128th pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Jarrian Jones at pick 134 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick144 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in Round 5, Pick 8 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 160th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at No. 163 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Fair-plus on Jordan Jefferson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Harrell went about where he belonged in slot 200. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Myles Murphy this early at No. 204. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Frank Crum
They reached into another round for Frank Crum, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
