Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Bills a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Bills spent pick No. 61 on Malik Washington, a name most had 56 spots down the list. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Barrett pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at pick No. 61 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 36, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick129 Rnd4 Will Shipley
No drama and no debate, Will Shipley went about where he belonged in No. 129. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
A reasonable price with a little left over, Justin Rogers in the 162nd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in pick 166 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nick Andersen
Nick Andersen at No. 202 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the 207th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
No edge and no loss on Chad Lindberg in pick 250; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
