Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Bills this weekend: D-.

The Bills bet big and early on Tyler Owens, 55 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The Colson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Payton Wilson at the 48th pick, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Junior Colson at slot 63 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A conviction pick on Maason Smith at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 128th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
They paid a round early for Trevor Keegan in Round 4, Pick 34, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No drama and no debate, Luke McCaffrey went about where he belonged in slot 144. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in Round 5, Pick 27 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 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.
