Draft Grade — Bills
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Bills bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The phones were a trap the Bills kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

If Bortolini pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They banked enough surplus on McCormick to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Good price on Cooper DeJean in pick No. 33, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick60 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in the 60th pick with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Johnny Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at No. 134, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick144 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at slot 144 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick slipping to Round 5, Pick 27 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
