Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Bills cashed the board's mistake on McCaffrey: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Luke McCaffrey at No. 189 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They are betting Raym proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Spending an early pick on cornerback with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 32nd pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at pick No. 60 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
The board had Kris Abrams-Draine higher than slot 94, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick124 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Elijah Jones at cornerback with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick128 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Value said wait; Justin Eboigbe in pick 128 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Khyree Jackson adds a cornerback and leaves interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaac Guerendo at No. 144. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A linebacker of that caliber at the 163rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick189 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
They will replay Malik Mustapha at No. 200 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
A real head-scratcher, Andrew Raym in pick 204 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
They paid sticker price for Jalen Coker in Round 7, Pick 28, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A quiet steal in pick No. 252: Josh Proctor for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
