Draft Grade — Bills
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Bills.

Nobody else had Tyler Owens anywhere near the 234th overall pick. The Bills did, by 21 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is McCormick. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They let Kris Jenkins come to them and pounced at pick No. 60. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Maason Smith a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at Round 5, Pick 8, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A quiet steal in pick 160: Mason McCormick for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at pick No. 191 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They went early on Logan Lee in slot 200, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at Round 6, Pick 29 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Owens well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
