Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Bills, and a B to prove it.

The Bills' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That Johnson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The cost of the Simpson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 28th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at slot 60 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
They went early on Jaylin Simpson in pick 127, and the value did not follow. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick133 Rnd4 Christian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
They did well to land Malik Mustapha in pick No. 159, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
Good price on M.J. Devonshire in No. 188, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A quiet steal in the 199th overall pick: Cornelius Johnson for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 28, where Trevin Wallace graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
