Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Bills let Magee fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

When a board-topper like Jordan Magee slides to Round 6, Pick 25, you do not overthink it, and the Bills did not.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The cost of the Means reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson is a better player than slot 32 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Javon Baker
They liked Javon Baker enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 68. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in pick No. 95 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 Brandon Coleman
The board fumbled Brandon Coleman all the way to Round 4, Pick 28, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at the 131st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Mustapha. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd5 Caedan Wallace
A straight-up fair deal on Caedan Wallace at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Value with a capital V on Jacob Cowing in the 144th pick, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Myles Cole
Fair-plus on Myles Cole, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nehemiah Pritchett in pick No. 173, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in the 174th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Bub Means
A wild overpay on Bub Means in slot 204, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trey Taylor at the 242nd pick is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Nick Gargiulo
Nick Gargiulo at Round 7, Pick 28 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills in No. 252 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
