Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B to prove it.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Bills walked out of the weekend still thin at interior defensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

The McCuin pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chris Cole
No edge and no loss on Chris Cole in pick No. 29; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61 Rnd2 Bray Hubbard
They jumped the gun on Bray Hubbard, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Iapani Laloulu
A conviction pick on Iapani Laloulu at slot 93 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Devin McCuin
A reach for Devin McCuin in pick 130; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Demond Williams Jr.
Demond Williams Jr. at No. 166 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
